Default Using oil on a 427 sideoiler

I have a 427 sideoiler 1968 block bored out to a 482ci it is using about a quart of oil every 600miles, it has 13,000 on the motor. It leaks alittle and its not showing any smoke on idle or acceration. Had the tranny out rear main is fine but the plugs around the camshaft where all leaking retaped them and sealed them up. I read somewhere that the intake manifold gaskets could be leaking and might burn oil. I am not sure how that burns oil? Any ideas or comments?
