loosing oil

[PynkEye]

Ok, this is gonna sound weird.

I made a oil change not to long ago. 1 week after, it was laready low, so i told myself..the filter got filled up..re added, 1 week after that..low again so i put some back, and this is 20w50 with Lucas additive.

Now im emptying my oil almost once a week...yet my oil pan plug is clean..no lose there, my filter is clean..no lose there. Smoke at start (sometimes) valve seals probably...and at WOT...but I cant be loosing all that oil..I did find some in IC pipes tho :S and prestone is green

where else havent I looked...

maybe your rear seals check your bellhousing

Sounds like your rings are bad, do a wet and dry compression test. That will tell you for sure. If you ain't leakin it you are burning it, valve seals leaking will burn oil, but excessive blow-by and oil consumption of the rate you speak of is likely the rings.

oil in the IC pipes and smoke during boosting could be the turbo!

check the bellhousing. i was loosing TONS of oil through the rear main seal into the bellhousing, with NO clutch slipage or any other indication of oil collecting in there.

yea could be piston rings, or turbo seals...esp if u smoke at WOT...i was using 10w-30 after i got my valve seals changed, and MHG installed..within a week it was low....i was like WTF...before the HG install i checked for rings and compression was good...so i gotta go check if the turbo seals are the culprit....i recently just changed back to 20w-50 and its not burning that much anymore......

Do you consider it turbo seal if you get smoke at the end after boosting and at half minute idle at red light?

my compression goes like so
cylinder
1- 155
2- 152
3- 152
4- 160
5- 155
6- 165

and im not burinng it i beleive, i dont see much smoke coming out..on cold days or cooler days i can see some...but ive always seen a little..that dissapears with time.

Oh and..this might sound stuipd..but whats the bellhousing ??? from tranny to engine ??? cause i am slipping my 4rth and 5th..could this have to do with something ???

 

[americanjebus]

the bellhousing is where your clutch is, between the engine and the front of the tranny, it litterally looks like a huge bell. with bolts on the ends.

 

[lagged]

the clutch COULD be slipping due to oil contamination.

 

[supratkfy]

is the compression test also from a leak down test? or is that dry compression test?

 

[PynkEye]

eh normal test...bought a comp tester gauge, and did it...dry probably...compression wasant low enough for me to try it with oil if thats what u mean
