After not having that problem at all, my 2.0 engine is mysteriously losing oil very fast and after warming up, it looks like thick fumes emanating from the cat.
I’m swapping a turbo coupe engine into it as soon as my new harness arrives in the mail (12 days from now?) but in the meantime, this is quite a PITA. I noticed the transmission case is smeared in oil, but there’s never really any significant oil deposit on the ground. I put two quarts yesterday, dipstick showed ok level, today there’s not a drop of oil on the stick.. Does it sound like a rear main seal that slowly failed and is now completely blown? It’s the first thing that came to mind..
