Did you physically check the oil? Or just check the pressure gauge? reason I ask is that the pressure gauges on our FD's suck and get dirty and stop reading correctly, mine reads like 0-20 psi after warmup but I have full oil.
if you did check the stick and have no oil, put some in and run it for a bit, check for smoke under throttle. If you're burning enough oil to drain it in 3 days you'll definately see a cloud. Also if they changed the oil, check and make sure they closed the pan lol.

same probem
I've been recently pouring a quart of oil every two weeks or so... not a hint of a leak, and no smoke whatsoever. I'm wondering where it's going myself. Wondering if it could be leaking into the cooling system. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!

Hey Highrev,
I found out a couple weeks ago that my coolant had been leaking into my oil. I know this because I had poured some copper block weld into the cooling system, and discovered it had worked its way into the oil when I changed it. Sparkly copper stuff in my oil. I have yet to check my cooling system to see if there's any oil in there. I need to wait a couple weeks when I have time to do it. My problem may be different from yours, since I already know that I have coolant seal failure. Good luck to you!
