More than likely your Oxygen sensor is out. This will definately cause the car to run rich and burn alot of fuel. As far as the vacuum in the the crankcase, I would check your PVC valve. It is meant to vent the vacuum in the crankcase and also rid the car of unburned gases by redirecting them back into the combustion chamber. If it is not functioning, it will cause a vacuum surge in the oil pan, thereby causing the symtoms you are describing.

Re: Oil Problem !!!

Check out your head gasket for the oil. About the dipstick i believe its the high compression of the v6. When u remove the dip the pressure escapes quick and the engines rms will usually move up and down.

your enrichment valve could be stuck open, that would make you suck gas. just another guess.
