It is really too much. It is possible you have o-rings on valve stems worn out - which is best and cheapest possibility (if it's V4 engine).
Other could be costly but easy to find out. For example if you have worn out piston rings - machanic will check your pistons' pressure with special meter and then he pours some oil into spark plugs holes then again check for cylinders' pressure - at that moment he knows whether rings are OK or worn (because after oil addition he sees temporarily increase in cylinder pressure due to temporarily stopping leaking of cylinder pressure).
But as I said - it's very possible you have just o-rings worn out.
