Sounds like it could be the intake pan gasket. There is a TSB out for it. It causes high oil consumption and carbon build up as a result.

Technical Service Bulletin. There are a few places you can get it. Your local library likely has access to the EBSCO online research system. They have the TSB on there. Visit the dealer and ask for a copy. Or drop me a note at csr684 AT yahoo DOT com and I can send you a copy.
