morgey Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 my car seems to be burning oil or so it seems i filled it up saturday after the oil light came on and checked it sunday, fine, then monday, still fine, then today i checked it and its 1/2way down the dipstick !!!???!!! I've done 170miles most done on the sunday and I've checked everywhere my cars been sitting and the is no oil patches and none on my block bar where i spilt some down the back after filling it up. if anybody has had anything like this happen and it hasnt been serious plz say something. P.S im guessing its the rings bcoz my oil and water seem fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 do you notice any smoke out of the exhaust when booting it??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 If your oil light comes on it pretty much means there's 0 oil pressure -- Not good!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 do do over a litre of oil in less than 200 miles you would be leaving plumes of smoke behind. seeing as you are NA. im gunna say its your valve seals. but you would be puffing LOTS of smoke...IF it is your rings. your car will run a bit off. get your compression checked. that will tell if its your rings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 erm yer it mainly smells more than anything but if u rev it over 3k it lets out a fine mist, but if u change down a gear and let it rev over 3k say coming up to a roundabout or something when i accelerate away it lets out a realy bad puff but only for a second whilst it burns it.

StarletRick Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 get your compression checked to start mate. if not that, then it must be te valve seals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
