i have a 99 civic hx it just started to smoke when hard accelerating, i also noticed black build up on my bumper. i go through about a quart of oil a week, i do have a slight oil leak, but not that bad. i did a compression check and all the cylinders were about 175 psi, what else could be causing this.

i say stop accelerating so hard, drive it normal, and it could be alot of things.

if you are burning oil and still have good compression, chances are your valve guide seals are bad.

try a leak down test, also your egr could be seriously clogged as they are known to do so, i have a 97 hx , i feel your pain
