Re: Engine Oil Leak - 2005 Honda Civic EX
That certainly isn't helping, but it's most likely burning it if you're not seeing anything underneath the car. Get a valve cover gasket kit and that will have the tube seals. The oil burning is most likely the oil rings on the pistons
As for the overheating at idle, do the fans work? Coolant level good and bled properly?

The fans work fine and the coolant level is topped off. In fact it doesn't appear to have depleted at all in months, I suspect it's just sitting in that reservoir not being taken in by the radiator. What do you suggest?
