[QUOTE="vantageX, post: 1292518, member: 28293"] nonameNo is correct with the tests above. Here's a few more: Check your engine, if its dry top to bottom then you don't have an external oil leak. Conduct the above tests as nonameNo suggested though the revving to red line thing isn't really recommended with old cars cause its almost certain you're gonna see some kinda smoke coming out which doesn't necessarily mean something's wrong. Another way oil can be escaping is thru your engine's breather system. Some people replace the breather with a small air filter. If this filter is covered with oil then you know where your leak is. If you have a original breather system then this will most certainly lead to your air filter box. Open up the air filter box and look inside, if there is any indication of oil then you know the oil is coming out of the breather pipe and into the air filter and then is taken back into the combustion chambers and burnt. The above breather pipe mentioned is from the rocker cover. Not the crank breather assembly. The reason the breather pipes have oil coming thru is because the valve seals are leaking. This would mean a top overhaul at the least. Another place oil can go though its somewhat uncommon would be to the clutch. There is an oil seal that is mounted between the clutch housing and the engine. This seal can sometimes leak and if its a major leak you'll sometimes notice your clutch slipping though a minor leak would be very hard to trace. [/QUOTE]
