Uh Oh Oil!

Well, I usually check my oil about 3 or 4 times between changes. Looked at it today after about 1ooo miles, and it was loooow. I mean, it barely showed up on the stick. All I had left was 2 quarts of Royal Purple, and threw that in for the time being until friday. What could be causing the oil loss? I checked under the hood and on the ground, and nothing in site. I will get someone to follow me and if I floor it, seeing if smoke comes out. Now part 2: Mazdaspeed! I can get a mazdaspeed front clip rather easy and somewhat cheap from a few sources I know of. Now would be the start of a good time to either swap a used Mazmart engine in, so I want to see if anyone has any ideas on the difficulty on this swap. I have swapped a used motor in a Mitsu Diamante, and a few engine swaps in old school RX7's so this would not be too hard. If I grab the front clip, would everything be there that I need? How hard would all the computer/turbo equipment be to swap? I also hear that our CPU's are under the passenger footwell area. I already know I have to swap that out.

Any info would be great, thanks guys!
