#61615, "serious engine questions need help quick"


          

so I was checking my oil level and when I pull the dipstick out it's completely dry. so I went and bought some oil, and I put in a about 1 and 1/2 quarts. now I checked it today and the dipstick is still coming up dry? can anybody clue me in on what's going on?

Is there any smoke coming from the exhaust? Are there any drips on the ground where you park? Its kinda tough to say without any symptoms. I noticed that I had oil all over the underside of the transaxle...rear main seal was bad, cost about $600 to fix at the dealer (thankfully under warrenty). So, give us some more details and I'm sure the good folks will be able to help ya out.

Was the oil up to the MAX level on your dipstick yesterday? Then it burnt 2 quarts (thats how much is between MAX and DRY) in one day?

Get under the car, and look really closely for leaks of any kind. Look in the coolant for oil droplets.

If no leaks, it's either your valve stem seals, or your rings. A compression test will tell for sure. Is your car high mileage?

i hope you checked the engine oil with the engine OFF...if not, that oil has to be leaking somewhere. look under the car. if your car is burning 2 qts. of oil in one day, you have a serious problem on your hands.
