Burning oil smell?

Hey guys My wife and I have had our Burnt Orange 2008 sel awd since 2010. We bought it with about 35k miles on it. Here in the last 6 months I've been noticing a burnt oil smell coming through the air conditioning. Usually when this occurs the oil is down to lowest amount on the dipstick. I add a quart of oil and it goes away.

 

It has 105k miles on it now.

 

Does this sound normal?

No - sounds like an oil leak. Check the valve cover gaskets.
