Default My Mini is BURNING through oil....help!!??!!??

I have been having some issues with my cooper since i got it. The check engine light was on when i got it, and they said they would fix it for me. They ended up telling me it was a camshaft position sensor. They said they fixed it but the check engine light kept coming back on. So i switched out the second sensor since its a DOHC and there are two sensors. I went back to my mechanic and he noticed that somehow i had NO oil...and i had just gotten an oil change maybe 2000 miles before that of full synthetic oil. So now i have been having to pay attention to my oil levels and in the last 2-3 weeks have added almost 3 quarts of oil cause i keep checking it and it keeps burning through oil like crazy. Please any help on this subject, i would be very greatful!!! And also, the oil is supposed to be to the 3rd notch on the oil stick right ??

Default same here

My 07 burned through oil, but noticed I had leak. My engine light was on too. Now I'm dealing with a broken timing chain that destroyed my engine.
