    Mbeach had a post in the long ago about losing oil from the rear of his valve cover gasket...it would leak out & vaporize when it hit his exhaust manifold.
    He said he never noticed any smoke or smell, just got lucky while looking her over in great detail with a flashlight.
    Just another theory...

    Oh yeah, I forgot all about that! Good recall, Ldub! Yes, there are a few other ways that you could be losing oil, but they are fairly rare and weird like that.

    Anyway, as suggested, search "oil consumption" and "oil loss" and read everything you find. You will come across all possibilities, so check them all out on your VX.
