The engine oil in my car keeps drying up. there is no leak under the car, but there is splashed up oil under the hood.
Just 15 days after an oil change the check oil light came on and on checking there was no oil on the dip stick

Make sure the oil fill cap is on tight and the seal is good.

If you are not burning blue smoke, it is leaking somewhere.
