Every two weeks we have to add almost 2 qrts of oil. There is no signs of an oil leak, and no smoke to show oil burning. What could be wrong and where could the oil be going?

Hi there,

The oil can only go two places either on the ground via a leak or out the exhaust being burnt, now if there is no visible external leaks, it will be burning oil, check the plugs foe any carbon deposits this will indicate oil burning, check that there's no puff of smoke on cold start up, (valve stem seals( and have some one follow you for a drive and report any smoke on deceleration or power settings, start here.
