My check engine light was on for a few days. Then Oil light came on. Oil was very low, put oil in both lights went out. Three days later the oil seems to be disappearing, no visible leakage anywhere. HELP. What could be the cause.

Take the vehicle in and get either a compression test or a leak down test done. The oil is leaving out the tailpipe I suspect and you need to know more.

If oil was leaking out of the tailpipe wouldn't there be smoke? There is no smoke. :D

The heat from the engine is such that it can burn off the oil without smoke. When you get the smoke, the oil leak is too much for the engine heat to overcome. Do the test.

Replace the pcv valve and your problem will go away.
