The oil is probably being burned by the engine and going out the exhaust. Reasons for this are:
Bad valve seals
Worn valve guides
Pressurized crankcase due to a clogged PCV valve or breather system
Blow-by from worn piston rings & low cylinder pressures.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks so much !
Can I change the PVC valve myself ? I am handy, how can I troubleshoot to see which of these is the problem ?
Yes the PCV valve is simple. It will be located in a rubber gromet in the engines valve cover. It will have a house attached that runs to the manifold.
The others are more complicated and require special testing equipment.
