losing oil!!

[minke]

Hi. Im new to this nova sceneso help would beappreciated. I recently took my mkII 1.4SR on the long 400 mile slog to cornwall. When I got there it had very little oil. well below the in mark anyway. I topped it up with 1 litre and all was fine. I then checked it again and it was low again. there is no oil on the floor where i parked it so where is it getting out? Also my engine makes a really crap wheezing sound. How do I erradicate this or is it just how a 1.4sr sounds? please help!!!!!!

if theres no leaks on the floor and the engine looks clean (no oil seepage around rocker cover - top of engine) then you must be burning it. Do you rage the engine much?

Check for smoke out the back.

Dunno bout the weezing noise - if it has a carb (?) is the air box sealed ok on it? check yer hoses.

yes there is seapage aroound the rocker cover. This is obviously where it is coming out. How do I stop this? Also there is a lot of smoke coming out when I boot it. I dont boot much though only every know and again.

just replace the rocker cover seal. preflably with a rubber one. Oil leakeage is common on vauxhals. go from there
