Loosing Oil

For some reason I keep loosing almost a qt of oil every other wk in my SR. I got no leaks, any suggestion wut it could be? I dont smoke so not sure if im burning oil. Did a compression check and checked out at roughly 140 across. Coolant looked okay, dont see oil in it.

what type of oil are you running...



your turbo is probably *evaporating* it.

GT2871R, seals on that shiet cant be blown already *god i hope not* Running synthetic 10-30 since it hasnt been too hot lately. Wut i dont get is, it dont seem like im burning it but yet im LOSING *thanks akademik you ass wipe* so much damn oil. My bumper dont look like its picking up oil, it used to get dark when my stock turbo was blown.

Im stressing cuz im thinking im getting lots of blowby *even tho im not smoking* With just a decent 140 compression across the board, its not really the healthiest compression for an SR but its good enough still *i know the minimum is roughly 125* Im worried that me losing oil, the engine is hinting that the rings are bout to go pooof. If it is, then time to either get another bottom end or a rebuild.

If its just the rings than it isn't that hard to replace. You can do it in a weekend.Well i did. Don't let my story scare you it was mostly driver error which caused it to break but i did have bad oil consumption before it happened to blew up on me.
