Burning Oil

I have a 98 honda prelude that recently started burning oil. I have 95k on my lude. Everytime I get on it you can smell the oil burning. Does anyone have this problem and know how to fix it? :evillol:

how much are you burning??

I just put a few quarts in on thankgiving day because it was low and I prolly changed my oil about 2months ago. I still have I only in there now but I can smell the burning.

yep i have the same problem, theres a thread going on this only its a guy with a crx asking the question, its in getting technical.

get a compression test done. you may have a bad piston ring somewhere.

make sure you aren't just leaking on your exhaust piping as well.

some people double up their filter gaskets because they didn't check to see if it came off with the old filter. bad news.

i hate to ask this question but...how much are new rings? can i do this myself with a fairly adequate knowledge of engines? how much do shops normally charge for this? i know its not cheap. my problem is getting worse.
