1 cylinder buring oil?
I thought I would post this in the internal section as well.
Last night, my car started to burn oil. I checked it today and the only cylinder with oil on the plug was number 2. I switched plugs around, same result. It seems to smoke more after it running for a few minutes under load. The smoke isn't horrible, but it becomes steady. The engine still has plenty of power. I had a head gasket go out a couple weeks ago and I haven't change the oil since the repair and I am sure their is antifreeze in the oil. I plan on a oil change this weekend along with a seafoam treatment.
I will also check the compression. If it still smokes after the oil change, seafoam and the compression check is good, should I throw some of that engine treatment in it for oil burning engines?
Here is a pic. I find it stange to find oil under a valve cover that dosen't leak.
