Question Disappearing oil?

Howdy. Any ideas what would cause oil to 'disappear'?
I have a 2006 Honda Accord EX 2.4l 4 cylinder with 157k miles. I frequently need to add more oil between oil changes (between 1 and 2 quarts) and not on consistent intervals. There is no visible oil leak on the ground or after visibly inspecting the engine area. There is no white smoke from the exhaust and I just passed GA emissions. Performance seems decent and I still consistently get around 25 mpg. I use Mobile 1 full synthetic. I recently replaced the PCV and it did not make a difference.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Did you check for oil around the top of the transmission, also pull a coil and see if there is oil there. If nothing check everywhere really good starting at one end of the engine and going to the other leaving no spot unchecked and get back to me with what you find I can try to steer you in the right direction once I know where the leak is possibly coming from

@Bloodsplatter16 - Thank you for the reply. There is no oil around the transmission and the coils are clean with no oil. However, this weekend I will do a 'deep inspection' and report back if I find any evidence of oil.
