Do a cylinder compression test follow it it by a wet compression test.

Then you may need to do a cylinder leak down test.

When doing the test do not let the engine rotate more then 5 revolution or your test will be inaccurate.

I would also check your PCV system for to much oil .

You can also check the tailpipe for a black semi wetness that would indicate oil consumption through the engine.

Check the spark plugs for an indicator of oil fouling

If it’s not coming out of the car then it’s leaking and being burned up internally. Callisto gave a bunch of great things to run through to try and find the leak.
