Default Oil leak please help

I have a 1998 Neon R/T. Last summer I had a very small oil leak which I thought I fixed with the replacement of a new PCV valve. But now it's back and I have no clue where it could be. It's a very small leak and it's taken about 2700 miles for all the oil to be completely gone. If you can help me in any way...please do. The head gasket was replaced about 10,000 miles ago. I think I've tried everything, and I know it's NOT blowing past the rings becasue I'm not blowing any smoke out the pipes

The oil can get in to the coolant. Check the color of the water in the radiator.

I would check the water to see if there is any oil in it. Check the oilpan plug & oil filter for leaking oil. I lost all my oil from a falty oil filter one time. If you are loosing that much oil you will see it some where.
