My car keep asking for oil every couple of weeks, but I canbot see any leakage under the car or in engine bay.
What could be the problem?

Sounds as if you have the electronic oil level check system, first thing i would do is get the oil and filter changed and this way the oil will be at the upper end of the fill, you may just be running on the lower limit of safe and with any small usage the add light will come on, start back at the re filled level and monitor oil usage from this point.
