Burning about a quart of oil a week. Yikes!
Greetings all.
I have a 95' mitsubishi galant that is burning about a quart of oil a week. The timing belt broke and all the other fun stuff that gets damaged along with it when that happens. I got everything repaired but I've noticed a serious increase in oil consumption. Any ideas of what can cause this? I hope this isn't too broad of a question. I appreciate any responses. berto

If the belt broke and your valves were bent as a result, the oil consumption should be much greater. The seals between the valve and the seat has been disrupted allowing oil to seep into the combustion chamber. This is my best guess with the info you've provided.
