High Oil Consumption

I just did the math and realized i've used 5 litres of Brad Penn in 3641 kms or 728 kms per litre. This seems to be about twice what the regular consumption should be.

The car only sometimes puffs a little smoke when I fire it up, but not everytime. I'd think with that kind of consumption that it would be smoking alot more. My tail pipes have some black in them, but nothing worse than what i've seen on my daily drivers in the past. I have some oil leaks in the "Triangle of death" but not enough to actually drip. Does this all make sense? Any experts have any thoughts on this?

I was planning to do a compression test and leak down over the winter.
