I do not see any unusal smoke

It's either going out the exhaust or onto the ground. You shouldn't see any smoke at all after it warms up. Do a compression check and take a look at the plugs.

Are you getting blue smoke from the exhaust? You do not say how long it takes to use the oil, however, if the engine is smoking, the oil is being burned in the cylinder. It is either bad piston rings or a cracked /broken piston
Using that much oil should be fouling the spark plug, and the engine won't start very easily. You might also want to look for excessive leaks

The rings are worn out on the cylinders and the oil passes up to the valves, and into the spark, where the spark burns it. You must be seeing some unusual smoke.

If it is smoking very bad, probably a blown head gasket. If you can get to the head easy, not too much of a problem to fix.
