I changed my oil last Sunday and it was completely gone in 5 days.
 Any one have any ideas what could be leaking that would cause my celi to loose this much oil in such a short period of time? My dad thinks it may be a main seal leak, but he didn’t tell me which one, is that a possibility? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
