Hi all,
I noticed whenever I check the dipstick after ~200 miles, it shows that approximately 1 quart less. I don't drive that much since it sits on the garage most of its life. I did not notice any leak under the car. I usually change the oil once a year and I had to refill the oil every time that I noticed the dipstick showed low level. I checked the pcv valve and its associated parts nothing out of ordinary (e.g., smell of gas and little bit of dirt). I checked the oil pan thoroughly no seeping or leak. I checked the valve covers (from the front and sides) and no seeping or leak.
Any advice?
My questions are also:
1- Would it be possible that I find some blockage in the head that prevents the oil from going back to the oil sump?
2- Since the car run perfect and I haven't noticed heavy smokes coming from the tail pipe (except white smoke when first starting the car after a while), do you think that it maybe the case where the car burns oil?
3- Where should I start to trace this problematic issue I have?
Thanks
