As fast as you are losing oil, I do not believe it is coming from your oil pan gasket.
Check your drain plug and filter.
Reminds me of a time long ago I brought my Scout into the dealer here to have them change the trani fluid. When I got it back I was shocked to see that they had punched a hole in the pan to drain the fluid out and then brazed it back up to seal it.
They said that way they can tell how many times the oil has been changed by counting the repaired holes.

Well, with no gasket/windage tray and only what looked to a mechanic as bathroom caulking. Ouch.
However that engine sealant that the dealer gave us in the GM tube, it did look like gasket maker white caulking.

That is really a shitty thing to do! It wouldn't do any good to call the place you bought it and tell them about it but I would be tempted to tell them a few choice things. It'* a shame you couldn't threaten them with the Better Business Bureau.
Good luck with the repairs.

I really feel for you about the shotty workmenship. Its really amazing that there are mechanices that are out there that still have liscences. I could tell you stories about the condition of Majestics engine when I got her...but Im not going to hijack your thread!
