Default Oil problems, EM1

I have a problem with the oil in my civic. it seems my car is just eating oil like crazy. i recently changed my oil and about a week later i checked it to see where it was at and about a 3rd+ of it was already gone.

I am not blowing any blue smoke out of my exhaust, no leaks, spark plugs are clean...no idea where all my oil is going. Any ideas? TIA

valve seals? i had same problem, but i rebuilt it anyway for boost, but i feel for sure that was my problem! do a leak down and a comp test first to make sure it isnt ur rings or anything else.
