first of all calm down. HOw many miles on the motor post is not clear. You could have bad valve seals or piston rings. Did you see a leak under the car? Try using a heavier weight oil and see if that helps. Next time add a few more detail to the post so we can help you better.

Always start with the simple stuff. Check for leaks! I agree with hondafiend could be anything.

no theres no smoke or any of that sort....the previous owner said he got a new engine installed ... so im guessin the mechanic there cheated him. i already checked under tha car for any type of leaks...seems to be all fine....so since there isnt any smokes doesnt seem to be bad seals for tha rings...so yea if u can help its greatly appreciated. thanx
