Re: 99 Intrigue burning oil

Feel underneath the rear valve cover by the fire wall on the serpentine belt side. I'm willing to bet that you'll all find a leak there. It is not visible because the firewall is so close to the engine, but it can be felt. My girlfriend's car does the same thing. No oil ever ends up under her car either, it doesn't smell, and no blue or black smoke comes out the tailpipe either. It's weird but that's just how it is. Every Intrigue 3.5L I've come across has leaked in the same place. I also noticed that a drop or two of oil also was in the spark plug chambers on her car when I changed the plugs @ 86k miles too. A bad PCV valve will also cause excessive oil consumption.
