disappearing oil
Two weeks ago I check my oil and it was at the bottom of the oil dipstick, so I added a little less then 1/4 quart which brought it up to about the middle of the dip stick.
Today I check my oil and it's low again at the bottom marker. So I put about a 1/4 quart in it again.
Now it's been really cold out lately so would that have anything to do with it? Last time I checked my compression this fall the 3rd cylinder was off from the rest by 5 psi.
Car has 50K miles.
Any ideas? I don't see any leaks on the ground. Turbo seems to be spoolin fine but I haven't had the chance to check it out for leaks. Last time I was under the car it looks good though.

Not necessarily crank walk. Pull off your intake pipe and IC line and check for oil residue. On my car I had access oil coming from the valve cover. All u have to do is get a cheap filter for it from Pepboys, Napa, etc. Also look closely at your turbo and oil housings for leaks. Do u have any signs of crankwalk?

I don't see how losing oil has anything to do to with crankwalk...
Maybe a seal on my turbo is goin bad? I havn't had a chance to take the IC off to clean it and check for oil, it's been to dang cold.
I wanna say when it gets below the first tick mark it stops leaking because I drove 2K miles with out checking the oil and that's when I noticed it was a little low. Oil pressure looks fine on the stock gauges.
