Not that I cant find it, but was curious about the more common experience from this group surrounding this issue.
I'm going through oil at a rapid pace with no indication of leaks, so I must be burning it. Problem is that for the amount I consume (so far 3 quarts in under 4000 miles) I would think smoke would be visible, but it just isn't there...
The engine just passed the 150K mark, and I have not really dug into it deeply yet as she is my DD for now.
Knowing the obvious possibilities; Valve guide seals, rings, turbocharger seals, has a common thread been discovered revolving around similar circumstances? (I'm sure just about every seal on the car is hard as a rock after so many years.)
I'm just curious for some common knowledge is it exists.
Peace,
Vince
