Default quart of oil every 2 weeks?!?!

theres never a puddle under car after i park it...

i know i might have a small dizzy leak or oil pan not sure, but is it possible for that much to leak out in 2 weeks and not hit ground?

Absolutely possible if your car is burning oil.

It's burning oil.

How many miles are you driving in "2 weeks" and what brand and viscosity of oil are you using?

What year/model/engine?

Replace the distributor O-ring and oil gasket (i.e., fix all external oil leaks) and then go from there.

wow guys first time i realized this was yesterday, feeled it up to max , drove 10 miles home, parked it, just checked it and it looks like its down a quarter of a quart already...

oriellys doesnt have p/n for dizzy o ring... they want me to take off and bring to match up...

anyways im gonna head up there and get a bunch of degreaser and spray down entire engine so i can see where fresh oil is leaking...

Honda part number 30110-PA1-732, dimensions 26.4x3.1.

List price from Honda is $1.88.

You aren't going to lose 0.25qt in 10 miles through a leaking distributor O-ring without seeing it though. The engine is burning oil severely. Have you checked the PCV system yet? Does the PCV valve rattle when you shake it?
