Default oil going somewhere...

ok so i just recently got a ls vtec hatch. i have had it for about 2 weeks and have put almost 3 qts of oil in it, i park in a garage and the are no oil spots, and it hardly even smokes blue. my old one smoked worse and didnt even burn that much.
only thin i noticed was the nipple on the valve cover where the line from the vc to the inake is supposed to be, there is just a tiny little filter.

Before you get the motor warmed up for a compression test, open up your radiator, check your coolant level, and make sure it isn't contaminated.

Get under the car at look at the bottom/back spray it down with BPC and set it run a bit while on stands. but as said do a wet and dry test.
