I wonder, Kev. There is no pressurized oil galley or connection between the lower aluminum crankcase and the cast iron cylinder bores that I recall, so if so it would just be a leak under the force of gravity. And 4 quarts of oil in 50 miles sure sounds like it would be from something else. Could be the leak is forward of the rear of the engine and the oil is just blowing back to the rear?

Still, a leak of that magnitude should be pretty easy to find.
