Burning Oil
Well, I still cant figure out why my car is burning oil. I was thinking about putting on one of those breather things or an oil catch tank so I took off the hose and it was completely dry of oil so I dont think that would help. So what could the problem be. I just buned a little less 1 quart of oil over the last 2,000mi. Also my licp has oil comeing out of the coupler that connects to the intercooler. What is going on??

Re: Burning Oil
Does it smoke blue? How many miles does the car have on it? I'm putting my money on worn rings.

Re: Burning Oil
Really one quart for 2,000 miles isn't that bad... Try my shoes on for size. The Firebirds eating almost 3 quarts a week. lol
 I really do need to fix that rear main seal...

Re: Burning Oil
it could be piston rings, blown turbo seal, valve seals. it could be the turbo because you said there is oil coming from the lower intercooler pipe.

I would go with this. If your leaking oil into the lower I/C pipe it might be time for a new turbo.

Re: Burning Oil
109Kmi. and the smoke is black but I've seen it turn blue a few times and I only get the smoke when I have 100% power (full turbo spool/full throttle)....I'm also replacing my intercooler soon because it has a hole in it, I can even stick my finger in the hole.

Re: Burning Oil
damn I wish my car only burned 1 qt every 2k miles
small motor + turbo = high cylinder pressure = burning oil although you mentioning the turbo on the lower pipe = blown turbo seal = new turbo time (I have been studying statistics BS all night so my head is stuck on math right now)
