I have a 91 civic hatch std with DPFI. I changed my oil cause the oil light came on a couple times. after bout 2 weeks and like 800 miles it came on again. i checked my oil level and it was 2 qts low. theres no aparent leakage under the car when i park it. could it be burning that much oil? i mean the car runs great and the odor coming from the exhaust smells typical.

hmm... do you have oil on the engine? Is your filter on tight?

That much oil would leave a trace under the car when parked, but if its leaking while running maybe drive in circles in a parking lot and look for a trail. If it was burning that much oil there would be blue smoke somewhere I am sure....
