Oil leak please help
I have a 1998 Neon R/T. Last summer I had a very small oil leak which I thought I fixed with the replacement of a new PCV valve. But now it's back and I have no clue where it could be. It's a very small leak and it's taken about 2700 miles for all the oil to be completely gone. If you can help me in any way...please do. The head gasket was replaced about 10,000 miles ago. I think I've tried everything, and I know it's NOT blowing past the rings becasue I'm not blowing any smoke out the pipes

RE: Oil leak please help
Most cars with go through about a quart of oik every 3000 miles, thats normal. your car holds a little over 5 quarts with the filter, if you are losing all your oil in 3000, thats not a small leak. Look where you park your car to see if it is leaking out of the car. If you see oil on the ground, get under the car and take a good look for oil. If you don't see any the motor is either burning it or its in your cooling system.

Would check in you intake and see if you are getting oiled up. Also check for excessive soot in your tail pipe. May be smoking when you are not looking. Also Check your coolent for milky color indicating oil presence. Check you PCV valve again and I don't know about Dodge but in Ford world PCV vavles get updated with new calirations all the time. Might get one from your dodge dealer for acuracy (Check your lines for cleanliness).
