Low oil?!

I have a 03 C4S and have had it new since June of 03. It only has 3350 miles on it and I have changed the oil after break in and put 10w30 Mobil 1 with new filter. I put in about 83/4 quarts in and I have NO LEAKS. For about a week now, I go and check the oil both digital and with the stick and it's below the min lines on both and even get a flashing bar on the digital when checking. When I'm checking it, the ambient tempature is around 75 and it has been at least twelve hours since the engine has been ran. Now I know it has oil somewhere in that engine but, where does it hide at night? Do I have a internal oil leak or something? I know there is oil in the engine and I will start it up and drive it normally and after a couple of hours after the engine has been shutoff, the oil checks just fine both ways.

So, do you have any solutions or suggestion so my problem? <_<

TIA

Your dip stick is not playing games with you...your engine needs more oil. Porsche engines can 'use/burn' up to 1 quart of oil every 700 miles espically when they are new.

No, I don't believe I would lose about 2 quarts of oil in about two weeks time and besides, it checks good after a couple of hours or so after last engine run. :(
