Hello, my name is Ronnie, and i have a problem with my 2000 toyota celica gt. for a while now i have had a problem with my oil getting really low and i mean REALLY low for a while. finally i talk to one of my friends that is a mecanic. they told me that it was a valve cover seal leak, because once we took the plastic cover off it was clear where the leak was. so what i did i purchased a new valve cover seal. and 4 brand new spark plugs which really needed to be changed. so everything was completed 2 sundays ago and i went to check my oil today and there isnt even any oil on the dip stick. i recheck the valve cover to see if there was a leak. and no leak. there is no oil on the ground. so i have no idea where the oil would be going. please help me. where else should i look or if there is something that i need to have replaced. thank you for your time.

If you don't have a physical leak-then it must be burning in the cyclinder-during start ups do you see blue smoke coming out from the tail pipe
