Hi my name is Shaun. I have a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo and every week I have to put oil in. When I check the dip stick it is dry. There are not oil leaks and I also checked to see if maybe leaking oil from the exhaust and no it is not. Any ideas whats going on with my car

I had the exact same problem. No leaks, great compression, no black/blue smoke. I replaced the PCV Valve and installed a new Oil Pressure Sensor. It seems to be drinking alot less oil now. I hope this helps you too.
