Burning/using oil....

Yet another problem if you have already read my "Very dissapointed with these 2" post. WHile I was out testing the new water pump today i was able to smell the burning oil even more than I usually can. I added a quart about 2 weeks ago and its already low again. I am just comnig up on my 3,000 mile change which I planned to do tomorrow. I also plan to pull the plugs and check them. Last time I checked the plugs, the #7 plug had oil all over it. I drip a little oil in the driveway, but using almost 2 quarts in 3,000 miles is getting insane. Anybody have any ideas where this may be going? I do get some drips, but its not looking like an oil spill in the ocean. This motor has about 32,000 on the rebuild. Any help is appreciated. If you need more info that I may have left out please ask for it. Thanx.
