Question Not sure where to turn...

Alright, So I know this is a Ford Forum, and I used to own two Late 80's-early 90's F150/F250's. But I recently picked up an 89' Dodge Charger with the 2.2 Liter I4 and 5 Speed manual transmission and was wondering if anyone in this section of the forums knows anything about these cars. This one goes through a crap-ton of oil, the leak isn't visable from the top of the engine bay and I haven't lifted it up yet because I don't have a garage and it's still winter. I was wondering if anyone might have an idea of where this leak could be. The engine runs fine, it just burns through oil quicker than it does gas... which make no sense... Thanks to anyone with any opinions, and I appologize again for this being a Dodge question on a Ford forum. :P

Don`t know that engine but a few pointers. Could be oil filter, either loose or fitted with two O rings by mistake, or oil filter adapter gasket leak, or oil cooler leak (if fitted), or rear main leaking, or front crank seal leaking, or valve cover gasket leaking or oil press sender leaking.
