Default oil gone with no leaks?

my 94 auto rs has been sitting in my garage for about 3 months, i start her up every once in a while and check up on her. I checked the dipstick today, and got a VERY low oil reading with the engine off. I tried a few more times, same thing. i tried with the engine running and got one side of the dipstick splattered on halfway up the whole thing, while the other side was completely dry. I looked under the car, but no leaks. any ideas on whats going on? im thinking about just jacking her up and doing an oil change anyways but its only been a couple of K's since the last one.

Your burning oil, or who ever did your last oil change, did they forget to put oil back in?

dunno why lol but after awhile they like to burn it, kinda like how people like to burn money. haha

no smoke, I've checked the oil level every other time i filled up the tank before I put it in the garage, never needed to top up before.

sounds like it needs a test drive to determine what it is...
