And you think burning oil is a problem...

My car BLOWS oil out of the exhaust.
Don't ask me how. I don't have the answers. There is literally oil all over the rear decklid above the pipes.
It goes through oil pretty quickly.
The end, it is nigh.

I'm sure at this point, the car must be in contention for some kind of "Can't kill me B!tch!" award.

You're not overfilling it with oil? Just checking.

Kurt,

I assume you haven't read all of the recent posts about smoking on startup. oil dripping out the exhaust pipe, etc???

Assuming that your engine isn't laying down a smokescreen while running ... there are other ways for the oil to get to the exhaust system without being burned in the combustion chamber ...

Engine smoking...then fine...whassup?

Kurt-

I think what you have here is the curse of the ricers. Voodoo!! Every time you squash a ricer your car gets closer and closer to the curse. Bad enough they laugh at your paint now they will be rolling in your smoke and oil.

It doesn't smoke at all.
But i can't otherwise explain oil ALL OVER the deckid.

Okay...maybe it's just leaking so badly it's a small oil station.

Kurt I had a bad leak on one of my oil lines on my old engine, I had to clean my ductail every other day to get the oil off. I didn't figure out the leak until I steamcleaned the engine since it apparently only leaked when hot.
