You don't say whether oil is touching dipstick or dry. Assuming it's dry, I see three possibilities:
1) Oil level is so low that you haven't reached dipstick level 2) Oil dipstick is damaged or misinstalled so dipstick does not touch oil level. 3) Oil drain galleries are blocked and oil is being held up on the valve cover, possibly draining very slowly. If so oil level should eventually rise. good luck |

I've also a '92 EX 5 spd and I'm going through 1/2 qt engine oil every 750 miles with no drops to ground
unless overfilled at the change. No smoke out the exhaust even on steep downhills - so I'll be following this thread! "UhOh" - have you replaced the poor old pcv recently? If not buy a new one, they are cheap, and replace. Don't try cleaning the old one. |

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
either way, the simple solution is to change your oil with the proper amount of oil.... poster 2,, i bet your rack is full of fluid as mod suggested,,time to get dirty |
HI let me make this as clear as I can. I have poured oil into the car and it is like when I pour oil into the car it is going somewhere else. When I look at the stick the oil is gone. It is not going on the ground it is going somewhere else in the engine. That is what I am talking about. I hope this is clear.;)
Thanks |

I probably helped confuse everyone.
I thought Steadyone was losing PS fluid but not leaking OUT. So I suggested inside the air-spaces of the steering rack. My mistake, his PS fluid leaks out but his ENGINE oil disappears mysteriously. Do I have that right this time? You can be burning some oil without much smoke, but that doesn't fit his description in post #5. I don't have any good ideas about that, other than waiting for the oil you just poured in to make it's way down into the pan. |
