hi guys!!!!
i need your help. i have a 1998 celica gt with 86000 miles but the car seems burning oil  . i checked today the oil level and i was two quarts below the normal and i just don't know why. my engine runs very strong but what could be wrong with it. fyi: when i bought this car i found a very small leak in one of spark plugs holes so i took it to toyota and that problems was fixed. do you think this has something to do with what is going on right know. thanks for your help!!! any suggestion about what could be the problem This post has been edited by monky32: Mar 31, 2005 - 12:39 PM |

It could be a number of things. Leaky drain plug gasket, leaky valve cover gasket, leaky distributor gasket, bad head gasket, leaky oil pan gasket... I'd stay away from the dealer. Whenever I see drops of fluid on my garage floor I just take it to my mechanic and have him find whatever seal is leaking and replace it. Just check your phone book for a toyota specialist. You typically won't get robbed like you will at the dealer. The dealer always tries to talk me into some bullsh** I just had replaced or replaced myself! And half the time I discover the guy doing the talking at the dealer isn't even a mechanic!!! (Note to everyone: I had those experiences at Toyota of Santa Maria out in Cali. Every time I went in there it was a complete joke.)
