Default Oil Consumpion

I have a 482 ci alum motor from Keith Craft and it suffers from the slight leak in the rear main seal. It seems that I am using more oil then I would expect.

I have put around 500 miles on the car, which I bought with 1000 miles on the clock. I have added around 4-5 quarts of oil over the last 3 months.

What I am asking is this normal? I had the compression checked and they pulled the plugs and everthing seems normal. Should I be worried?

Dave
