There's an oil leak coming from somewhere. I'm losing about a quart very 2 to 3 days.I cannot seem to find where it is coming from. I've check the oil pan, head cover, oil filter.

I have the SAME problem. It only happened recently.
Have you checked to see if the oil plug loosened?
You should check to see where exactly is the oil leaking from. If it is leaking from the top back of the engine it could either be a gasket blown or the valve cover gasket needing to be replaced. Either or, the part isn't VERY expensive but the labor put into it can be ridiculous. I hope you find out what is wrong, I'm still searching for a solution myself.
Good luck.
