2 quarts of oil loss at 3000 miles after cam upgrade

Have anyone experienced this 2 qts of oil less every 3000 miles after a cam install upgrade. Any ideas what could cause this? I was told it could possibly be the valley cover leaking.

L99 traded for an LS3 3 years ago. No oil in coolant either.

I'd be surprised if it WAS NOT the valve seals considering they were recently worked on and the problem started right after...

Sounds like a valve seal issue. Pull the valve covers to see if they are pushed up or torn.
