I need help fast

I have a low oil sign but I can't the leak. Now I thought it was the infamoun manifold leak so I had that all redone at Cartek in NJ which is a Fbody performance. A month has pass by and I get the low oil lamp. Once again I"m like 2 quart off. Where is the oil going?

Compression check maybe? You can do your spark plugs at the same time.
