Hello, I've known I have had a minor oil leak where I need to add half a quart a month which is no big deal. Today I took a 200 mile trip and topped it off before I left and checked it when I arrived and I'm a quart low. I'm not blowing any smoke out of the exhaust and did not smell burning oil the entire trip. Where should I start?

 

Fixed your plenum?

Valve covers leak down onto the exhaust manifolds, and it gets burned off. You won't smell it while driving, oil just magically disappears.

 

I haven't done the plenum yet I need to check it tomorrow, I will be able to drive the 200 miles home until I can take care of it if I do need to replace it right?

Thanks

 

Yep, just watch your oil level.

 

Valve covers or plenum or oil drain plug is loose and the worst is fried piston rings
