oh yeh and i cant see any kind of smoke/exhaust or nothing at all drips from my car... oh and on the gas oil pressure gets up a lil past 60

Find out where the oil is going. If you're adding multiple quarts and not seeing anything, you have issues. Don't drive it until you figure out what's going on - running low on oil will kill an engine in short order.

Are you sure there's no huge puddles in the driveway, or something?

You aren't burning it up at all? My advice is to drain your existing oil and refill it. Let it sit overnight and check it in the morning. Do you see any oil buildup near your oil pan or elsewhere? Are you still driving it in this condition?
