    I have a 95 Rover shaped civic 1.4, about 3 weeks ago I topped up the oil the correct point on the dipstick, checked it today and there's nothing even on the stick:eek:. There are no leaks around the area I park so I assume its burning oil would I be correct?

    Get someone to drive behind you and watch for it although if it's going through that much you should see it by simply standing outside the car and teaching your foot in and revving the engine and watch the exhaust end for smoke.
