its gotta be going somewhere. Check the oil, for antifreeze, gas, etc. You can taste the antifreeze, and the gas you can smell, and the oil will be thinned out. The leak could be internal, which should be looked at right away. are there any performance issues?

None of that is going on. Maybe a little loss in performance but I use work and seems to be normal wear and tear on the performance thing. Could the PCV valve be plugged. I heard that somewhere before.
