My engine is bay is spotless too. Took it to the dealership under warranty, they did a compression and leakdown test, and all the numbers were well above spec, but for some unknown reason to both them and me, my motor still burned oil. No leaks anywhere were found. They said that it is within spec if a car burns 1 quart every 1000 miles, any more, then its out of spec.
Main suspects are:
1. Piston rings are shot.
2. Valve guides/seals are leaking.
Beerman, bump it up to 10w40, and see how that goes.
