hi everybody. i just got a 97 gs with 63k miles. i am new here and i have been reading all the posts concerning oil problems and still no luck. well heres my problem: i have gotten an oil change about 2 weeks ago and within the 2 weeks, i had to add another quart of oil because oil level dropped and as of right now, my oil is down by half again. i am wondering where it went. i don't think its burning because if its burning oil, wouldn't the oil be black? mine still has an amber color to it. i took it to my mechanic and he did a compression check and everything and said it was fine, no visual leaks. i also read that if the car is burning oil, the smoke is blue, well how blue is it because i notice every now and then, my car will emit a really thick white smoke with a choky smell to it. the car was not cold when it happens either. the smoke i get would linger around too. am i really burning oil? the smoke only comes out once in a while. so does anyone have any thoughts on where my oil went? any fixes? please help. thanks
