Default 95 Civic,Help No oil on Dip Stick!

Hey,

My car runs great....but I just did an oil change not to long ago and when I went to check the dip stick there was no oil on it. When I did the oil change I used 4 quarts....and now nothing coms out! When I drive the car it doens't over heat though....in fact the thermostate only goes up quater way. I did notice that I didn't have any coolant though.

So long story short anyone know why my car is sucking in oil?

Thanks for your comments.

p.s. I didn't pass smog yesterday

it doesn't smoke and there are no leaks. its also started to bog in low rpms like on the highway when I was in 3rd gear....it takes a second for it to catch........know what i mean?

(2nd question) I did check it on a slight hill....I'll check it again today and see if its the same deal.

any more thoughts on the situation, I greatly appreciate.

leak, no duh.
run the engine, and while doing that, look for leaks especially around the oil filter and the plug.
