Where has all the oil gone? Options

[laff09]

Well, I've checked out 6gc.net for about a year and a half or so, and just recently got around to making a forum account. Recently I've had an odd problem that hopefully someone recognizes.


Lately I've had to keep putting oil in my 94' ST, about a 3/4 of a quart to a full quart about every 2 weeks. However, there are no spots in the driveway, nor am I blowing smoke at high RPMs (or low RPMS for that matter). So that pretty much rules out a piston problem (i think). Just curious if anyone has encountered this problem before? Oh, and my manual ST has ~102k on the odo, w/ standard 10W-30 oil. It's been ~3k miles since my last change, but I would like to find out what the problem is before I waste money on an oil change only to have my mechanic drain the oil to replace something anyway . Thanks in advance!
