Hi guys. Just bought my room mate's 1995 Geo Metro for $325! I'm a full time Pizza Delivery Driver so I thought this would be a great back up vehicle just in case. At that price I just can't lose. My Roomy has put in a new clutch, timing belt, brakes and it is running good except for the fact it is using/losing oil at about one quart per 250 miles. I see no smoke unless I rev it up close to red line then I see a little blue/gray.
I have changed all the fluids, tune up, cleaned the vacuum lines, pcv valve. Now I just have to deal with the oil loss. My mechanic says the oil appears to be dripping out of the distributor seal and possibly the oil pan gasket. He also thinks it's burning some oil but that it should have a substantial life expectancy still with only a little over a hundred K miles on her.
What do you think of my plan?: Replace the distributor seal and oil pan gasket then use Maxlife 5w30 with a Mobil 1 M-209 over sized filter and some LubriMoly Ceratek?
My other option is to use some AT-205 Re-Seal and see if the seals swell up enough and am able to avoid having to replace the distributor seal.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!!!
