Most of the oil loss comes from one of two places: 1. this engine seems to vibrate the hell out of the oil filter causing it to loosen up and leak. 2. all turbos burn some oil. 3. all boxer engines leak some oil pass the cylinder seals.

You can seal up a non-turbo practically hermetically on most cars.
