hey guys
ive got a '92 SRi with 107k on. i found on a trip up the M1 from sheffield to york that my oil level went from just over half way between max and min on the dipstick to well below min.
although it smells pretty bad, theres never been blue smoke coming out the exhaust, and there r never drips under the car, so im at a loss as 2 where this oil has gone!!
im gonna give it a service this week, change the filter etc, could this help out?
any thoughts? :roll:

maybe work piston rings...

Have a look in the heafer tank and see if there is any oil present there. Could be headgasket.

Get a compression tester on there...
