Just a tip from someone who used to go through a quart of oil in a week too:

Are you using synthetic 10w-30? I shot a quart of that out my tailpipes about every week. I switched to cheap goop $1 a quart 10w-30 regular oil and viola!

I burn 1/2 a quart every 2 months.

Thin oil will find every possible means to escape your engine. Try using regular thick oil and see what happens.

Might be cheaper and easier than rebuilding things.
