1) the stop leak has probably helped clog an already weak radiator, adding to the overheating problems = redo of the radiator and fan your first priority. 2) so - you know it's burning oil. if the engine has been running too hot, you've probably prematurely aged the valve stem seals: oil runs down the valves into the cylinders: normally on very high or old engines that shows-up as smoke when you start the engine in the morning that then clears-up as you drive.......and when seals are quite bad, you don't see the car laying a smoke-screen, but at higher speeds oil is being sucked past the seals and burned completely without noticeable smoke. 1) take care of radiator 2) go to a one-grade heavier oil 3) after you've recovered form the cost of the radiator work, have the valve seals replaced. - or just tell you bud that it needs to be done in the future. |

AutosBay:Thanks boss. The radiator set is new. I may consider the heavier oil and have the valve seals replaced. Another observation this morning. I noticed oil leaks where I usually Park the car... |

Readonee35L: A rattle at the top(head) is a minor fix, from the bottom (crank shaft/con-rod) just get a new engine. Most of these problems are fixable, but the ability to find original parts and the expertise to install these parts is a little scarce in nigeria, that's why I always go for the buy a new engine line. |

GAZZUZZ: A better advice would be to buy a new car! |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:02am On Nov 18, 2014 |
OK let's critically examine this case. Topic of thread is: MY car is consuming engine oil and there is no smoke from the exhaust. Meaning engine is burning oil or leaking oil. Now if engine is leaking oil I woud say replace seals, fix leaks with suitable materials. But the Op goes on to add Sunymoore:I'm assuming flogs mean spark plugs, and from this statement you know that for sure engine is really burning oil. It could be his rings, it could be a cracked cylinder head,valve stem seals or a bad head gasket. I doubt the valve stem seals would cause the spark plugs to be soaked in oil, and the engine in quote was Sunymoore:"NEW" the one wey come taya me pass was when he said Sunymoore: So let's sum it up, he bought a new engine, that soaks plugs, leaks engine oil from the engine. What would you advice bare in mind cost of that engine is about (40-45k)? |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by Sunymoore(m): 6:25am On Nov 18, 2014 |
icemann:Oga easy.. I'm just using the car for school runs from 8 to maybe 4, after then I drive Pontiac for my town runs, so being smart or not is irrelevant here. The steering system is leaking like many (old) Honda cars so I thought it's the one that is leaking before. |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by Sunymoore(m): 6:33am On Nov 18, 2014 |
GAZZUZZ:Thanks for reasoning with me.. The engine was bought for 42K. I'll attach screenshot of the new place I parked the car yesterday. Edit : The SS. You can notice two leaks. The right one is surely the steering system but the other one is the engine leak I guess.. What the way out bro?

Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:44am On Nov 18, 2014 |
Those leaks are not enough to cause a significant drop in oil level. |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by Sunymoore(m): 11:49am On Nov 18, 2014 |
GAZZUZZ:Thanks.. Now what's the next step. Should I just visit a mechanic and tell him what's wrong or what should I do. Thanks. Sorry for the disturbance. I'm a new bie |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by icemann(m): 4:12pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
Sunymoore: My Apologies but you cant keep giving half symptoms and expect us to give you a good answer. I hope you don't do that when you visit a Doctor. |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by icemann(m): 4:20pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
Sunymoore: If i were you, i would start budgeting for a new car. In the long run you would lose more economically. Would give you a breakdown when i got the time . But in the mean time use thicker oil like 10W 40 or 15W 40, you can even go as high as 20W but idle for a while in the mornings. |

Funny thread, funny Op and funny engineers. |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by Sunymoore(m): 6:17pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
icemann:Thanks boss. But I think I gave full details now. Check the screenshot and the text above it! Thank you. |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by Sunymoore(m): 6:18pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
icemann: Thanks boss. Waiting for the breakdown |
Re: Help! My Car Is Consuming Engine Oil And There's No Smoke From The Exhaust by icemann(m): 7:04pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
Sunymoore: Your car is worth about 300k (assuming) you want to spend 80k on it( I assume the engine is 50k+labour+accessories + other expenses= 80-90k) So you spend 80k(and my go up to 100K if you decide to fix the steering) on a 300k car that's 1/3 of the value of the car . But if you sell the car and add the 100k(repair cost) + find like 50k more you can get a better looking car at 450k. 450k wouldn't get you the best car but this time shine your eyes. do enough research before you make a move. You can't be sure of the new engine because most cars of that model in the junk yard are over 200k miles. The chances of getting a good engine from the junk yard is low. My personal opinion would be keep your eye on the oil as you save for a newer car, let someone else deal with the fixing burden. Since you car is not smoking you would find a buyer. |
