I have a 2000 Intrigue 3.5L 155,000 Mi
Oil use has been about 1 QT at 3000 miles since 120,000 miles.
Before that I wasn't keeping track.

The valve covers were leaking pretty bad and could be smelled burning off.
I replaced them along with my P/S pump. There also was fluid in the engine valley that I believe was P/S Fluid..

I changed the oil and I was 1.5 Qt low at 2,000 miles. So it is suddenly WORSE. Even though I replaced the leaking valve covers. There is also currently not fluid in the engine valley. I park in the same place every night and do not notice a puddle. Also there is no noticeable blue smoke from the exhaust. Just a little white as it is winter.


I am looking for where else the oil could be going that it doesn't leave a puddle on the ground.
