My motor drinks oil it needs filling up probably twice between service which is not right. The thing is i can't figure out where it is going it is not burning oil and it is not leaking so where is it going?. If anyone has had same trouble please help it is costing me a fortune in oil.

I also have a 99GT and have the same problem.  In fact I had the dealership look into it and they claim, which I have a hard time believing, that it is acceptable to burn 1 quart of oil per 1500 miles.  Now let's do some quick math here,  If you get your oil changed every 5K miles like Toyota recommends, you would have less than a quart of oil in your car when getting the oil changed.  This has been the case for me for the last 2 oil changes (the reason I brought it in).

I drive the car faster than most.....I think....I drive 80 miles round trip to work daily, and once a week 210 miles round trip.  It is NOT unusual for me to run a 90 to 100+ MPH for many of those miles.  I hate driving slowly.

Regardless, I can't believe burning oil that fast is "Toyota Acceptable."

Fortunately my car is covered by 6/100K warranty so I have 2+ years/50K still left to figure it out.

you use synthetic oil right ?
cuz I have to chg mah oil every 3k and that regular
