Excessive oil usage

My 99.5 powerstroke is using a quart of oil every 40 miles! I've changed the injector seals already Dosen't have any major leaks, loss of power or smoke any ideas? How about the turbo?
Thx

Remove your oil filler cap and see how much smoke you are getting while it's running and if it is puffing. How many miles on the engine?
