Guest 82EVO Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 yea my lancer does that to.. altho it does hav a litle leak but uses heaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3k Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Put kerosene in a weed sprayer, spray engine down (or use engine degreaser) and clean all, including everything under the engine. Then run it, have a good look for leaks and you should find one. If not, Im out of ideas. Whats is your car? My 4k leaked oil out from under the rocker cover (meh no biggie) but if your engines clean you wont see in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 have you checked under your car? it could be leaking out the rear main seal and slipping under your trans tunner/gearbox etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 how much it heaps tho? aooarently, word rom mitsi themselves, and written in alot of owners manuals "1 litre of oil usage per 5000km is perfectly acceptable" on the petrol engines..... I dont have any prob on teh diesel, 302km, 3000km overdue for oil change - hasnt used a drop. also what kind of oil are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esky boi Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yea it could be leaking where RT said.. my old motor used to do that, and I always thought it was gearbox oil until I actually smelt it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 my old car had oil leaking onto one of the mounts, into the xmember and then along the chassis rail... bit of a bitch when you look for 2 liters of oil that went missing and there is nothing on the floor... sucks when you crawl under the car and your coveres in the shit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 If rings are worn quite evenly, but not got broken rings, it may not smoke. It could still be burning oil. It could be burning such a small amount that each time the piston comes to the top, you can't really see smoke. If you leave it idling for a long time and then rev it, do you get blue smoke? If u do then that would indicate that the valve guides are worn and needs a head recon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildPlumDx Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 all good! i dont own it anymore haha yeah nah i tried the idle for bout 5 mins and rev the nuts off it and nothing aye it was weird alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
