Way back when I first noticed on start ups I was leaving a sputtering of black soot like speckles on the paveent behind each exhaust tips. My installer at the time said it was just carbon build up or some crap and condensation..

Well almost a year later and every oil change it seems I am always about 2.5 quarts low. There is no oil leakage or dripping under the car. Though the car still sputters and spits oil out the exhaust tips. You can smell touch feel whatever that its oil Shrugs I don't even know where to ebgin excapt maybe its the headers? or I figure it it was somewhere internally before that it would leak under the car too maybe?

Shrugs. ANy ideas or questions?

intake could be leaking and possibly the valve guides and valves

Sounds like valves or rings.

Any idea what sort of price id be looking at to get it checked out? As of now I check the oil about every 3 weeks to see if it needs more oil or not. It also smells like its running pretty rich. Though I always just figured that was for the best haha.

One of these fuggin days I am going to break down and just learn to do all this **** myself. If we can ever get this damn house fixed and i can amek the garage into my own personal car altar lawl.

Thanks.
