Oil problems

[dexter231]

The oil in my oil tank decreases everyday when it just sits in my garage. One day the oil will read full and the next day it will read as being half full or inbetween the two dots. Is the oil just getting drained into my motor? there are no spots on the ground or anything? What could the problem be? please help me out here. Thanks

do you run it til operating tempurature then let it sit for a few minutes then check. thats the only way to get a correct reading.

if so, does it smoke? then you might be burning some
