Car reducing engine oil

Please comment why engine oil is reduced in very short time, I have monitored my car daily after the last oil change, and I have noticed that it was left with half of the oil in one week time. Please note there no smoke and nothing wrong apparantly with engine. Your valuable comments please

2 reasons for oil level deceasing..

1. Leaks (Not usually the case as it is very visible at the place where you park car..)

2. oil burning with fuel... may or may not result in a smoke..

get ur car checked on computerized tuneup..and get the emmission checked... if ur engine is weak.. and is consuming oil.. u need to put in slightly thicker oil..

another thing which you need to know is that if the oil level at the dipstick is at the half..it does not means that the oil in the engine is half... the ratio is not the same for the dipstick...

but you should not ignore if the level is decreasing...

please give us sum detail about your car... so that ppl might advise you whih oil to use.
