mine leaked oil for a while until i fixed the valve cover gasket seals, i could have tightened up the "phillips head" screws in them and probably got a little longer out of it before i had to change them because several were very loose, but i went ahead and changed them. Upon changing them, i found they were hardend like plastic and came out in broken brittle chunks rather than being soft and pliable. so they were pretty much toast anyways, probably Original ones.

 

If lower RPM fixed your oil consumption problem, unless your covers are leaking bad then it is probably a different issue, rings or something getting tired. could be gaskets i guess, if its extremely loose near a drain back in the head or something. Also if your PCV valve sticks open it can cause oil consumption too, especially at higher RPM. so i would investigate that as well considering its easy to get to.
