Have a 91 Eagle Talon TSI FWD. For a while I've been loosing oil. Keep having to add more oil. Costing me money. Have a new drain plug gasket so I know it does't leak. Haven't noticed oil in my coolant. Is there any way oil is getting burnt somewhere? I don't have smoke coming from muffler.
 
I get a lotta blow by. Is the PCV hose on the side of ur car showing signs of oil leakage? Do a compression test.... U might be burning, I know i don't burn oil yet, but i get lots of blow by and tons of oil leaking from the oil return line that i gotta refix :)
 
look where ur exhaust mani meets your head, if you see oil there, you could use some valve seals....its also letting oil drip onto your piston burning it up to causing you to lose oil......got a smokey exhaust?
 
what does it mean when you get oil leak by the PCV valve? do i just replace the PCV? i get some oil leak there but the PCV is working fine...
