Default oil loss please help

So last week I replaced my oil pan myself because of bottoming out going to work. I put 5 quarts in after the replacement on thursday and checked my oil today and has all the way to the low markings on the dipstick. There are no signs of leakage and the car doesnt smell different as it is running. any input would be appreciated.

Default RE: oil loss please help

Did you check the level after putting in the 5 quarts? It may have been pretty much at that level originally and you just assumed it was full.

If it is leaking (and wasn't before) you should see it under there. Either right at the pan, or further back from the oil blowing back there as you are driving. I'd say fill it up, keep an eye on it and the ground underneath it, and watch it a few more days to see if it is def leaking. If its leaking that much, it shouldn't be too hard to find.
