I wouldn't have thought that a RMS would leak out 2 qts in 5 miles (unless there's no rubber seal at all). 944boy's idea that the oil fill tube is cracked or broken is a possibility too.
If it were me, I would clean the engine with chemical degreaser, jack car up in 4 stands, fill up to max with engine oil and run engine (still on jackstands) and observe. If its losing that much oil, it should become obvious pretty quickly, thats a lot of oil to spread about....
