Newnesie Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I also have this problem. Apparently it is some of the seals gone in the engine. That is the extent of my knowledge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Likely to be piston rings/valve stem seals newnesieIIRC using a lot of oil can be caused by the PCV system being shagged, may be worth cleaning/replacing this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newnesie Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Not a silly question It's the 'breather' pipe that is connected the top left hand side of the airbox. Gets full up of horrible yellow gunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
