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?

lol it's a honda. it say's right in the manual " unneccessary excessive oil loss to be expected before and after oil changes "

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...
