i believe shes consuming more than normal amounts of oil the car- 2000 ls1, stock ls1 pcv system..... cammed, dual springs, ls6 intake
so right after the cam swap, i noticed that the car is getting rid of oil...i use pennzoil 5w 30 ultra
right before i left for ocmd, i filled it up just barely higher than the "safe" zone on the stick. drove the 150 miles down, cruised for a little, inched in traffic for about 2 hrs on DE 1, and drove the other 150 miles back.....now, its a hair below the safe zone on the stick.....the car sits for 3-4 days at a time, and there has been no oil on my driveway at all. howeever, did notice on the driveres side near the rear of the valvecover, it is wet from about half the valve cover back, and there are little tiny dots of oil on the wires......is this above normal amounts of oil consumption?

well there is really no oil outside the motor, other than the few speks on my plug wires.....all my plugs looked wet......the only oil besideswires that i see is the backhalf of my one valvecover where it meets the head is a little wet
