1. Look for leaking while car is running.
2. Look for leaking after parking.
3. Look for oil in other engine fluids.
4. White smoke from exhaust pipe.
5. Or your oil place didn't put the right amount in the first place.
1. None that I can see
2. Small spot on ground (maybe 1.5" in diameter) after car sits for a long time.
3. For example?
4. None
5. I think-they put in between 4-5 quarts.

Does it smoke when your on the throttle hard and is there any smoke while at idle. I would also recommend changing your own oil so you can be sure it gets done right.
Not at all...perfectly invisible.

check for leakage around the distributor also. I have a small leak there, but it doesn't burn or smoke at all. Just have to put a quart in every 5-6 weeks.
The only place I have noticed anything is possibly around the fill cap...there appears to be a bit of 'dirt' gunked up in oil after a week or two of running...but that wouldn't amount to the oil loss that is occurring.
Also, the bottom of the oil pan has a small amount of oil on it, not a great accumulation, it just 'slick' and black...no idea where it's coming from....just had the front pipe replaced at Honda, with them under the car, you would think that they would tell me about anything major (to get more $$$ out of me).
