If you're not seeing something super obvious like drips or wet with oil or a puddle, consider this. You're not emptying the crankcase. There's oil in there even if you let it drain a long time. Also, you're probably changing the filter too, how much oil is in the dirty filter? And a certain amount of oil is going out the tailpipe. If your rings are bad then more is getting into the cylinder, but even a brand new engine has a positive crankcase ventilation system and some of that atomized oil is plumbed into the intake, and burned.

Some thoughts....
