lol i know i have an oil leak on my pan however i also know im burning oil some where in the engine. im pretty sure its the piston rings.
my questions are if it where the piston rings would i notice a drop in power? becaus i havnt. second is if i do a compression test and every cylinder is ok then where else can oil be getting in from? the turbo? I checked the hot pipe and its fine and the intake side of the turbo looks good perhaps its on the exhaust side of the turbine? |

do a comp test. check the coolant for any signs of oil and oil for signs of coolant. if you see something that looks like coffee with milk then its a head gasket. how much oil and/or coolant do you loose ?
