Low Oil....where is it going?

I did an oil change a little over 1000 miles ago. That was about a week ago. Yesterday I started the car and the low oil light came on. I just installed my LTs and my dipstick got broken during, so I cant look to that to see if its really low. I added a quart of oil and the light went off. Why would my oil be that low a week after an oil change. I cant see a leak anywhere and there isnt ever oil on the ground. Any one know?
