Default Oil question

How many different ways can you lose oil? Valve covers, main seal, piston rings...anything else? My car is fine when I drive around normal with it, but after a couple of days of gettting on it it will drop just a smidgen. There is no white smoke when getting on it and dont smell any burning oil. The valve covers are spotless, so there isnt anything leaking there. I changed the oil a week after I got the car(over a month ago) and there was nothing leaking around the oil pan. Since the oil change I have added a quart as of today. The oil is clean. Will a compression check tell me anything? Anything to worry about the heads? Any ideas??
