my oil is disapesring

[bigdjs123]

Mlong story short I've used 7 quarts of oil in the past week. That was around 1000 miles. And there are no leaks what so ever and it doesn't smoke at all. I was reading some stuff about the plenum but if I'm using this much I would thing there would be smoke but there isn't. Any ideas?

Oil in radiator?

Sounds like a bad plenum gasket. It could also be sucking the oil through the PCV valve.

Sounds definitely like the plenum gasket. I thought the same thing when Mine was doing the same thing. No smoke, losing oil, no leaks. I had a chunk missing out of the plenum gasket and that was the culprit.

Just discovered that I lost 3 quarts of oil today when the oil gauge dropped to zero. No leaks and no smoke. Searched around and found this write up: http://www.ramforum.com/f77/318-plen...ment-kit-1250/
Looks like this is going to be my next project. Good luck in fixing yours also.

Agree with others plenum was so common an issue.
