I have a 1994 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 3.1 Vin M recently purchased, that was in need of a little TlC.
The car currently only has 28K miles. I did the intake manifold gaskets, replaced the radiator, AC, and a ton of other little things.
I finally get everything back together and change the oil. Check it after the first week, and I am missing about 1/4 a quart. Fill it and check it again the next week missing about 1/4 of a quart.
The driveway floor is dry, and I can see no leaks. The distributor plug thingie is dry so it does not appear to be an external leak. I have dye in the oil, and have been looking all around but still nothing.
Is there anywhere else this engine could be leaking oil? Internally or externally, that I am missing?
Can an engine with only 28K miles be burning 1 qt of oil per 1k miles? is this normal?
I hope I am missing something.. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
