I haven't really kept track, but I would say I uses about a quart in 2000 miles. It doesn't smoke or leak. Spark plugs are dry too. I seem to remember putting a new front seal in along with the pan gasket back when we did all the work on it.
I said it doesn't smoke, but I did see smoke once when I started it up in 25 degree weather after it sat and cold soaked for a week. For some reason, the cold idle was set way too high. It smoked for about 30 seconds or so before I shut it down. I backed out the cold idle screw, restarted it, no more smoke.
