I have a 2004 Acura TSX. As soon as it  
  
 gets to the time to change the oil it  
  
 starts to run loud. I have to check it a  
  
 lot and add a qt now and then. Has anyone heard of this happening with the TSX ?? I see no signs of a leak anywhere.

Can you be more specific? What is “loud” on the car? How often is “now and then”? How many miles on the vehicle, how many miles between oil changes, how many miles between adding oil? What engine is in it?
