Hello, my name is Ronnie, and I have a problem with my 2000 toyota celica gt. For a while now I have had a problem with my oil getting really low and I mean REALLY low for a while. Finally I talk to one of my friends that is a mecanic. They told me that it was a valve cover seal leak, because once we took the plastic cover off it was clear where the leak was. So what I did I purchased a new valve cover seal. And 4 brand new spark plugs which really needed to be changed. So everything was completed 2 sundays ago and I went to check my oil today and there isnt even any oil on the dip stick. I recheck the valve cover to see if there was a leak. And no leak. There is no oil on the ground. So I have no idea where the oil would be going. Please help me. Where else should I look or if there is something that I need to have replaced. Thank you for your time.

If you don't have a physical leak-then it must be burning in the cyclinder-during start ups do you see blue smoke coming out from the tail pipe

Check the engine compression both wet and dry tests or do a cylinder leakdown test=this will telll you where its leaking at-rings or valves-cylinder wear
