I am losing a serious amount of oil from my engine.



Have checked around engine and there are no visible signs of a leak, no leakage onto ground under car also. I have gone from full to empty in only 900km. On initial start up car smokes heavily and continues to smoke but at lesser extent once engine is warm, but there is always smoke. I thought it may have been premix but for the amount of smoke and the amount of engine oil that is being used I think that engine oil is getting into housings somehow.

I was thinking that it could be from OMP but have always thought that this was only a small amount, and I'm talking bout 2 litres of oil gone in 900kms



My question is what could be causing this to happen?

How old is your engine ? Has it ever been rebuilt ? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

Only done 14,500km. Never been rebuilt.

No signs of a leak and the engine only done 14,500 km (still new). As we know Rotary always consume more oil than others but it shouldn't have consumed 2 litres of oil for only 900 kms.
