lupoluke Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Could be worn rings or valve stem seals, lots of info on here use the search function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunid-brake Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 my sport used to drink it too. nothing wrong with it though. Everything ran sweet so it could just be a trait of a highly strung engine?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubsy Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 valve stem oil seals could be on there way out get them looked at or replaced or it could be goodbye engine and im speaking from experience of loosing my sport engine from the exact same thing and it aint pretty!

dubsy Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 if your constantly having to top up the oil then youve got problems sports do use more oil than most cars but then theres excessive useage which aint good news cost wise id say your looking at £300-£400 better that than the £2500 that i had to pay for a new engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
