Default Oil and coolant issue

For some reason my lude's either leakin oil and coolant from somewhere and/or burnin it. I've heard that if you're deep in VTEC the motor may burn some oil, but i just had to add 3.5 quarts of dam oil yesterday. Plus my radiator had like just a little coolant in it. Anyone else had this problem? Or suggestions? Thanks

Any visible smoke from your exhaust ? Your headgasket might be blown. 3.5 quarts is alot to add on top of what you already had in the engine. Were you on level ground while you were measuring oil level ? And as far as the coolant goes, the only way to lose coolant is through a leak somewhere in the system or if your headgasket is toast. Any visible leaks ?

I was lookin for leaks, but couldn't really find any. Just had a problem like this with the coolant like a month ago too. But it was a tiny hose like 4" long that gave out. This is beginning to become a big hassle...
