I changed my oil last Sunday and it was completely gone in 5 days.
 Any one have any ideas what could be leaking that would cause my celi to loose this much oil in such a short period of time? My dad thinks it may be a main seal leak, but he didn’t tell me which one, is that a possibility? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The plastic thing on the bottom is the Oil Filter. That needs to be changed every oil change. It's only worth like $10.00. If you take your car to technicians every oil change, then don't worry about it becuz they are suppose to change that out. Also, the best way to check for leaks is to clean your engine bay up. You can pressure wash the engine bay and make sure to use degreaser in oily spots. Let it dry or dry it up. After that, pour in some oil and let the car run. It'll show you where the leaks are (oil DRIPPING or SLUDGING out). But if there is no leak, your engine is BURNING oil.
