[Shotimes] Oil Leak Prolem???

[David Vaudreuil]

Thank you very much for the tip. So I guess if I was planning on doing a 60K 
service next month, maybe it would be I good time to do it? Is there a 
write-up somewhere for this? some kind of guide line?

In a word, NO.  That oil can't possibly get into the motor.

Also, while your leaks may seem big, they are NOT the cause of your oil use. 
  Leaks must be HUGE before they can effect oil level in a couple thousand 
miles.

Your oil is going out the tailpipe (after being eaten by the cat converters 
if still working) through the rings or more likely, the valve guides.  This 
is where a SHO v6 usually looses almost all of its oil.
