Questions about coolant/oil.
Okay so here are my problems I am noticing; a slight decrease in amount of oil between changes. Of course I would think the obvious which would be either
(A) I am burning
(B) I have a small leak
(C) Head gasket.
BUT to answer those questions; I am not burning oil, I don't leak, and I don't have oil in my coolant (Although I have not thoroughly checked) Could it be sitting at the bottom of my radiator and not being surged up to the top so it is visible when I take off my cap?
Any thing to ease my brain so I don't pop, nothing makes sense to me on how I can be loosing oil, minimum 1quart.

A) If you are burning oil there would be blue smoke coming out of your muffler.
B) If you have a leak then check your engine and see if you are leaking anywhere.
C) Im not sure about the oil being at the bottom of the radiator. Normally it would be floating at the top.
