Hey there any thoughts on why I seem to be consuming about a liter of oil every 2-3 tanks of fuel?

My exhaust is not dark or anything? Where does it go? I have no leaks.
 
Oil on the plugs ? Could be valve stem oil seals.
Baffle under the pcv valve ? 1/2 quart every thousand miles is common.
 
You are using a non heated intake manifold that allows the engine to stay cool-maybe too cool for a long time. I like using the heated intakes unless its hot outside and I'm not sure if any place in Canada gets very hot for more than 2 or 3 weeks of the year. Surely not this time of the year.
 
Apparently less than 60,000 km since the truck was new.

I have probably put 2-3000km on it at most since I put the new cam, lifters and intake on.
 
I've seena lot of issues with ring seal. If it's never been rebuilt tho I'd say it's a PCV or gasket related deal. How is the PCV hooked up? What do the plugs look like?
