We seem to have some people here who are pretty well informed about cars. Let me describe the mystery I am trying to solve. I have a 1991 Volvo 940 Turbo wagon that I really love. Has always been a very comfortable and civilized ride.
Oil is disappearing from the crankcase at the rate of about a quart a month. It isn't leaking out anywhere since there is no oil on the carport where I park it. It doesn't smoke or smell of burning oil from the exhaust pipe when running, and it runs great. I thought maybe it was time for a ring job, but I had my mechanic run a compression check and it's just fine. He suggested maybe the PCV valve was faulty, so I had him replace that, but it made no difference. I'm just completely stumped on where this oil is going, and so are both of the mechanics who do work for me. One suggested putting in some Lucas oil stabilizer in place of a quart of oil, and I tried that but it made no difference. It's a nuisance to have to put in a quart of oil a month. Any suggestions?
