ok guys, the thing i hate most is when people have a problem and automatically think it's the worst so i'm NOT going to do that here...

ok i noticed my car is some how making oil dissapear?? clueless on that thats problem number 1

problem 2 is my vacumme is pretty low at about 15 hg

now assuming the car has 120,000 miles on original engine...would you guys say that the rings are worn?? what about the valves??
the car was babied most of it's life as it was driven by a 50+ man up until 2002 although that can sometimes be decieving...well any help would definitly be appreieceated thanks again
 
Well the oil only has a few places it could go. Unless you can find a leak its either piston rings, valve seals. A compression test would give you an idea of what it may be. 15 vaccum isn't to bad at all, but you might have a small leak somewhere, which a intake leak test would probably tell you. Or the lower vaccum could be from leaking valve seals.

Do a compression test like said.
 
thanks alot for the reply i'll run the test and let you guys know tomorrow
