Hello HT,
So recently my car was leaking oil, realized it was the rear main seal, so got that replaced along with reseal of my new oil pan (not really new maybe a year old) and Exedy stage 2 clutch (it was a free upgrade because the shop screwed up shipping and i got it for the price of a stage 1). But she was running fine with no oil leak issues until a week ago i've been having to add oil every other day (not a whole quart) she's not smokin, and when i park her and drive away in the morning for work there aren't any spots where oil is on the ground. Any other things i should be looking out for? Maybe a loose oil pan screw? or another seal somewhere to replace? I'm not really smelling burnt oil when i'm driving normal, only when i have to go up hill. Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts and time.

Rings, valve seals...

Get up under the motor and look at EVERYTHING
Make sure oil isn't leaking out, hitting the exhaust, and burning up, causing no leak spots on the ground (this might be the case when you're going up hill if oil leaks out the back of the oil pan and drips onto the hot exhaust.
ALSO, you had the trans worked on...check your trans fluid and make sure there's no oil in there due to oil somehow leaking into the trans
(never hurts to check ^^; )

And an easy way to tell if your valve seals are going is to watch the exhaust pipe when you first start it in the morning.
If it puffs smoke for a second or two when it first starts, your valve seals may be bad as oil slowly leaks out of them overnight and onto the pistons, flashing off and burning when it starts in the morning.

Then again, if you're having to add oil every other day...
Yeah, get up under that booger and check everything out with a good flashlight!

if it is not visibly leaking it is burning it in high RPMS
