I've been almost certain for a while that my 7A burns oil. After it warmed up, I opened the oil spout and a teeny bit of smoke wafted out. Is that a dead giveaway that it burns oil or is it just because it gets damn hot in there?
Also, if I'm burning oil, and I also have a super small oil leak, shouldn't my oil level being going down? My oil level has been the same for the last few weeks. I check my oil about twice a week. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Have a friend follow you and look for blue.
The amount of smoke that may come out of the spout should be insignificant unless its billowing in which case you probably have a bigger problem than burning oil. This post has been edited by neKronos: Mar 4, 2011 - 8:12 PM |
