I asked him if it needed to be done right away. he said that i need to watch the oil level. but should be alright. Now when i got home i googled the intake gasket problem and it seem that its antifreeze gets into the oil when the gasket goes and if you dont fix it right away bye bye engine. now with my oil leaking is this the same problem? do i need to fix it right away just want some more opinions. would be around a 800.00 fix. and also the oil pump o-ring is this something i can do or is that internal
thanks

this mechanic is guessing that oil is leaking into the intake manifold and causing your oil consumption. this is what i was refering to is the PCV will do the same thing and since your PCV is the original for 4.oo you will quickly find out if this improves your problem. i would have the oil pump O ring replaced also. the intake manifold gasket should be replaced if you have coolant leaking out.small oil leaks are ok,not worth the cost to fix. the reason coolant must be fixed is because if the coolant pressure drops then your coolant will boil and then you will overheat engine as water pump will not pump the boiling coolant.......if you had coolant in the oil your oil would look like a milk shake foamy and not looking like oil at all.....
