Well if there's no drips then you're most likely burning it. What oil weight are you using? Probably will need a rebuild

How much oil did you use? Did you check for proper level after you let the motor run for a min.?

I used all 5 quarts, and i checked the oil with the car off and there was none on the stick. Then i turned it on and let it run for a while, turned it off and same thing.

Get the oil to the proper level on the dipstick and see if the issue goes away. It's tricky with new oil sometimes since clean oil is hard to see on the stick. If the issue continues when full on oil, I would start checking end play. Not to be "that guy" who screams crankwalk, but oil pressure dropping when the clutch is pressed is one of the signs of worn out thrust bearings.

I'm on board with checking for crank walk now before is to late. If caught early enough it can be fixed with some new bearings and possibly a new crank, depending on how bad it is. My case had worn into the block and took out the crank with it. I check for walk every 15,000 miles now.
