Civic leaking or burning oil?
Oct 25: my oil light flash intermittently as I was warming up the car at my work parking lot. Shut off the car, let it sit for a few min and check the oil dip stick. NO oil on the stick. I was like wtf? I did buy 8 bottles of Castrol GTX 5-30 the nite before but I took them out of my trunk. So I walked to a store nearby to buy 2 bottles of Castrol GTX 5-30 so I can get home. Put in another bottle of oil. Level indicator at Full.
Nov 6 (today): check oil dipstick before starting the car. indicator at 1/4 mark between low and full??????????
Should I get a leak down test done?
No signs of oil on the driveway.

Jack the car up and see if it is leaking from anywhere. Then do a compression and leakdown test to see if the motor is burning it. Any signs of smoke from the exhaust?
wtf? ONE reply only???????????? Common I know there are really knowlegable guys out there reading this 
Yeah, that's what my friend recommended me to do. He said it may only leak when I drive the car. He also told me to check the color of coolant; if it's brown, oil may be leaking into there.
No, no black or blue smoke.
