Listees,
Probably a simple answer to this... and I think I already know it... but
as usual I'd like your opinions!
My engine is drinking oil... simple as that... a good litre or more in a
month! Now, I don't think its leaking anywhere - although for some reason
it sometimes leaks a bit when pointing downhill and sitting on the camber
of the road... thats only a possibility though!
Now - what are my options? - and what should I check for first?
Anything I can do to prolong the life of the engine a bit further? Any
measures I can take to try and stop the leaking?
I don't fancy removing the engine right now... not something I really want
to do quite yet... and as its my daily driver - I really need something to
replace it with!
I know the engine is probably well worn in - using a dial gauge thru the
spark plug hole to find TDC - there was a certain amount of slop on the
piston.
Perhaps I need a new engine - time to rebuild one, something I keep
telling myself I will?
