hey i got a question for all of ya, it seems like my car is using a ton of oil, its not leaking anywhere so it must be running too rich, theres also oil splatterd on my rear bumper above the tip so it must be running real rich! Anyone got a fix or advice on this?? Cause i have to put oil in it like every week or so:(

uh oh... sounds like another head rebuild on this forum hehe ;)
thats what my guess would be tho man, valve seals, that or piston rings, wee what ur compressions like, if its normal, then its valve seals!
only cost u about 200 for the head set (gaskets) and maybe 85 for the seals to be done if u can find a good job, i'd recommend comin down here to stevens auto, they did amazing work on my head, give them the gasket kit, leave them ur head, and come back a couple days later
if u wanna spend more money, drive ur car down and they'll rip it all apart, its just cheaper to bring the head in tho

Oil on your bumper doesnt mean your runnin rich, it means oil is leaking past the rings on your pistons.....time for a rebuild my friend......
