super excessive oil loss
My goat used bout 1 1/2 gallons of oil in a 60 mile trip pulling my 32' travel trailer into a 20 mph headwind. i totaly rebuilt the vacuum lines so i know the vacuum pump is not the issue. It still has a continuous fog of blowby out of the vent tube. It doe'snt have a missfire, and still has ton's of pulling power. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Broken ring, head gasket, or just wore out? any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That's a lot of oil, if it wasn't leaking it must have smoked really bad even out the exhaust.
If it isn't leaking about the only other possibility is worn out.
I'd do a compression test, it could be just one cylinder and not require a complete rebuild.
