Default is my oil burning or leaking?

my cars being losing a lot of oil recently. after a commute or 2 from school (50 miles back and forth) i lose about 2x on the dip stick, hitting vtec at most 5 times. when i pop the hood i see oil around my engine cap and when i touch it its still wet.

my cap is on tight and doesnt come off easily.

im runing mobile 1 synthetic

anyone else have this problem? normal?
