I'm losing oil!!!!!

[eclipserst]

I don't understand, there is no blue smoke coming from my exhaust and my car doesn't leave any spots in the garage. About a 1000 miles after my oil change, I have to add a quart of oil. I don't understand where it is going. Can anyone help me!

check for a loose oil dipstick, the oil might be forced out during high-rpm driving only. Also try revving your motor about 4~5K RPM's while the car is parked and watch if it drops any oil at all.

I think that you are burning oil in the engine. If you drive for an hour then open your oil cap, if a vapor comes out thats your oil burnin, I had the same problem then i got an Engine fluid flush, i changed the spark plugs too now its fine.

no thats normal, for vapor to come out of the oil cap, when the oil is heated up it turned into a vapor, why do you think we have breather valves.

checking your antifreeze, if there is oil in it. there is your problem, headgasket.
