Maybe someone could help me out here, its more a hypothetical style question.
Im burning oil.
its PROBABLY seals (valve stem to be more exact) but just wanted to run this idea around and get some input
when i bought the engine (gsr) the guy didnt take the oil out, didnt know til i got home, looked in the intake mani and there was a small puddle in there, guess from sloshing around during the hour drive....
now its leaking and im pretty sure the valve cover gasket is part of it, there is wetness of oil around the back of the valve cover, and along the grooves in the intake mani under the injectors.
question: is there a way that maybe the IM gasket is bad and oil is somehow leaking through?? I know its definately burning and not just drip leaking, I see smoke when heavy on throttle in high rpms at shifts etc.
