First off nice to be back after not being on in a week or so. After getting ran off the road twice last week, once on the interstate of all places, I finally got hit. Girl backed into me in the Walmart parking lot, broke the spoiler in half and busted the right taillight all to hell. Dad might have a hook up for parts so that is good. So this doesn't get locked there is some tech to it. Last tuesday when the old lady ran me up onto a curb I think I might have messed something up. I was going down the interstate yesterday and I started to smell oil really bad. I got to my destination and pulled into Auto Zone and I was TWO QUARTS low. Sure I was at my 3k mile mark but I checked it the day b4 I got ran onto that curb and it was perfect. It's never been 2 quarts low b4. I bought 2 quarts of cheap oil and put it in and it runs fine but I couldn't tell where it was leaking out at. I guess I'll have dad look at it but this sucks. I smelt it a little today but not as bad. Any ideas.

this is a HUGE shot in the dark...but maybe... the oil filter came untightened and now is dripping gradually from the side?Maybe?

Be lazy
Drive it, park it, put a large piece of cardboard under the front of the car.
You'll find your answer.
