You can do compression / leak down to try and help diagnose, but that will not always tell you 100% depending how bad things are. I have both testers as well if you want to come up and check. Is this only when cold or every time when you move after start up. Is it possible to be fuel build-up in the exhaust not being burnt off because there is no converter?

only after it has warmed up and i can smell the oil, so I dont think it could be unburnt gas. This is the first time I think I noticed that a significant amount of oil was missing.
I just checked yesterday and my oil was low, it is about time to change my oil though. I Just threw some in there (same as i was using) to hold me over till this weekend when I will probably change my oil.
yes I am on the stock intercooler, Ill check that too soon.
I have never really heard about valve seals being bad either, but i just wanted some opinions.
