Question Oil seals

I have a 1988 RX7, and just recently the oil seals have started to go bad...the car is burning oil...I have been adding 3 quarts of oil every week...how long will the car continue to run? Currently it's running fine...it starts up with no problem, but I just wanna know what type of time frame I have...also with winter coming, will I run into more problems with it starting????

Are you sure that it is the oil seals?? Sure you just dont have a leak somewhere, maybe oil pan gasket? 3 qts/week seems like a shitload, is the car constantly smoking (blue-ish smoke from exhaust?)

The car does NOT have any leaks, and yes the car does smoke if you rev it up, and when I get on the express way...but it's NOT constant flow of smoke.
