Calling Doug99RS

[prop7459]

Okay Doug, only you can help me with this problem. My RS started to leak oil a couple of months ago, it was not HG because there is no coolant in my oil. I check the valve cover for leaks it wasn't there, I checked the spark plugs to see if I had oil on them. It wasn't leaking on the ground either. But the car was smoking blue smoke alot especially when the car is warmed up and not moving. So the last guess is the valve stem seals allowing blow by. So the other day after street racing, I notice the car was wasn't smoking. This was odd to me so I checked the oil level. It needed some oil so I feed her with 10-40 Maxlife. Then after a couple of days of driving her I do not see the smoke. I'm really short on money because of college but have about $400 to solve this. WHERE IS THE OIL NOW GOING.

Should I feed her with the thick suuuuurp 20-50 until I have enough to fix this problem?
And if it is the seals, about how much will a local garage would charge to fix it with $85 per hour. I can get it fixed for $400 by good friend back in South Florida but that requires me to drive 3hrs to get there since I move this mother f***ing city called KISSIMMEE. I don't have the time to drive down their. If shops are charging too much my father has work on plenty cars in his life time. I was wondering can I do this with my father or let a shop do it? What tools are need to complete this job. Also this would be the first time working on an Eclipse by my dad.

I NEED YOU WISDOM ABOUT THIS SITUATION

I'm no expert on N/Ts, but you should run a wet/dry compression test to figure out where your oil is going. If it ends up being your head, my machinist did mine for 200 with disassembly, valve job, new seals, port/polish, and re-assembly. He took the hours porting and polishing off of the book cause he's a good guy, but I wouldn't see an average valve job being over $150-200.
