i was having a similar problem on my B series, but not quite as much oil, but i couldnt find any leaks. I ended up checking the cam seal and it was indeed leaking... it was very hard to see since it was tucked behind the distributor and all that jazz, ive seen other people leaking there too, so you may want to dig around and check.

What!? Of course it's gotta cam seal or how are you gonna stop the oil from leaking. Check that cam seal. One of the most common oil leaks in a Honda.

not like the one i think he's talking about on the distributor side. they have the rubber o-ring on the cam gear side but not the one on the pass. side of the motor like the B series have that always get brittle over time and leak.

throw a little heavier weight oil in it, that should reduce the oil consumption somewhat.
