I filled it up to where the oil level was about 3/4 to the full line about 2-3 weeks ago and now, the oil level is about 1/4 to the low line. That's half a quart in 2-3 weeks. Is that normal??

happens a lot in older engines or high mileage ones. usually the culprit is valve seals. Like pit said, something that people usually don't worry about mostly because it does not cause too much damage and its a lot to rebuild anyways.
