Where is my oil going???
I checked my oil about 2 weeks ago or maybe 3. It was almost 2 quarts low. I topped it back off and now I just had to add a quart. I can not find a leak coming from the motor. I never see it smoking, and the exhaust has no sign of grey smoke residue. Wonder where it is going?

Yeah, what he said.
I am assuming you are not seeing any external oil leaks. Here is another scenario, 98 prelude (I know we are talking Accord here ) from the factory had a really hard chrome moly piston ring setup. And those bad boys would guzzle oil without smoking. Honda tech support said that the rings were made of such a hard metal that they never properly seated. Might be the problem you are having.

Re: Where is my oil going???
Both are fine.
Just replaced the cam seal not 500 miles ago. And all is well there.
I did a compression check and leak down test and with a first bump jumping to 120 and ofter 5 strokes it sits at 205-210 across the board. So with the Wiseco pistons and rings I could be burning the oil ? What would cause the rings not to seat other than just being made of chrome moly steel.
