I've been almost certain for a while that my 7A burns oil. After it warmed up, I opened the oil spout and a teeny bit of smoke wafted out. Is that a dead giveaway that it burns oil or is it just because it gets damn hot in there?
Also, if I'm burning oil, and I also have a super small oil leak, shouldn't my oil level being going down? My oil level has been the same for the last few weeks. I check my oil about twice a week. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Because it's such an insignificant amount.
Are you sure its a small leak? Or is it left over from a previous leak, or from something else like power steering, a spill? Since you said that you are "almost certain" Frankly oil level staying the same I would find to be a great thing. Whats your oil look like after you have driven the car. |
