Just noticed that my 99 2.3l accord is consuming oil like crazy. Checked my oil the other week and it was super low, added a quart of oil to bring it to the fill line and drove it for 400 miles, now the oil is at the add line. Any ideas? The car has 102300 miles. I don't see any oil spots in my driveway, and also the exhaust is not smoky so I'm wondering where all this oil is going??

How does your coolant look?

If you can get to a borescope, I'd get that inside the bore and look at the top of the pistons because if you see it looks like its washed around the edges of each pistons, that means that oil has been going up to the top of the pistons and burning'em off. So it'll look like its washed with white areas around the edges.

Your oil control rings might be clogged, stuck, or worn out.

coolant looks like new. I wonder if the main seal needs to be changed. I looked in the engine bay last night and noticed that it was a little wet under the timing cover
