It's burnin', burnin', burnin'! Either that or there's some kid sucking it
out at night while you're sleeping. Seriously, oil in the vac lines could
be the source of the problem. You still haven't found any obvious signs of
oil anywhere
I can't see how it goes from the vacuum pump to the engine on this car. There
is no vent hose to the air cleaner, the IP shutoff valve is new, and
the EGR is
blocked off. Where else is there to loose oil? Could it be an IP seal
sucking
oil in and mixing it with the fuel???
--
Luther
Luther - if there's little or no oil in the vacuum lines, and none dripping
out below, none coming out the radiator overflow, then it must be burning in
the combustion chambers. And its pretty close to impossible for crankcase
oil to mix with fuel in the IP, so that pretty much leaves rings,
Sometime ago several folks suggested that I needed a monovalve on my
