Default Loss of Oil 2008 Buick LaCrosse 5.3 V8

Hello all, I have a 2008 Buick LaCrosse Super 5.0 V8 that loses oil. I have taken it to my mechanic and he cannot find any external oil leaks. My 'low oil pressure' light came on and when I checked the dipstick, there was no oil showing. I put in 2.5 qts. Also, there is no indication of burning oil in the exhaust pipes.
Any idea of where the oil is going?

So you lost all your oil overnight? A little history maybe.

How many miles since the last time it was full?

How many miles on the car?
