CRX: Oil leak somewhere

[Ken]

Whoa, just yesterday and today, I started noticing a brief flash from the low oil light whenever I went over speed bumps. I didn't give it another thought because I have never had a low oil problem before. There were no oil patches on the garage and it has only been about 4871 km since my last oil change. The crazy thing was I had to put in "2 liters" of oil to get the oil level back to the middle of the "oil zone" on the oil dip stick. I am glad my engine had not seized on me. I hope it hadn't hurt my engine.

I never noticed any blue smoke coming from my exhaust and there is no oil stains in my garage. I pull my spark plug wires and looked inside the spark plug chamber area and there was a tiny bit of oil around the base of the 2 spark plugs from the drive side, but it wasn't drowned in it. I have been using Mobil 1 5w30 for years and this was the first time that I had to top up my oil level before oil changes.

Strange, I don't know what to make of it.
