MrR33SKI Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Need help losing oil but no oil leak? Hey guys! So ive got a r33 gtst. Its got 180kms and im losing oil like crazy when i hit boost. Its stock besides fmic, exhuast and oil cooler. I noticed about a week ago my oil pressure has dropped but have done a major service 3 weeks a go. So i check the oil level and it was near empty.... looked around and couldnt find any oil droplets and/or puddles. Ive checked everywhere i park my car and no oil on the ground any where. But i did notice that the rear of my car get small oil marks (cars not running rich) . So i believe i have oil coming from the exhaust but dont know why. Please o wise ones share your knowledge with me! This is my dream car and i have owned it for 2months now and praying i did not buy a lemon Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471966-need-help-losing-oil-but-no-oil-leak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrR33SKI Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Also no loss of power or stuttering or anything out of place besides my oil level dropping.

Ben C34 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Cars can burn a fair bit of oil without making smoke.

KiwiRS4T Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Did you do the service yourself? Fill the oil exactly to the mark on the dipstick? Fill it again today and monitor the level for a week or two. If it has burned off a couple of litres do a compression test and then repeat it with a shot of oil in each cylinder to see if its the rings.

Cyko34 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Few questions that might get you some better answers.... 1- any smoke at all under boost? Or any smoke under any driving conditions? 2- how much oil is your engine using? For example if you dropped the oil now and put 5 litres in. How much oil would you have left if you dropped it after say 500km of driving. 3- what oil are you using now? 4- any leaks around your sump area or underneath engine that you can see? Wet looking spots.... 5- i like cats, would this shirt make me look gay at powercruise. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471966-need-help-losing-oil-but-no-oil-leak/#findComment-7849236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrR33SKI Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Can you give me an answer for both if i said yes and no? Because i havent seen any smoke but then again never had someone stand behind my car and tell me. So 3-4weeks is almost empty. 10w 40. My dad told me to get maybe thicker oil cause the cars done 180kms but not sure? Doubt it because only park in the same 3 spots everyday and no drops or anything on the floor. f**kkk no! Get me one! f**k dat gucci shit get me one of those and ill wouldnt give two f**ks about mi car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471966-need-help-losing-oil-but-no-oil-leak/#findComment-7849242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyko34 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) 3-4 weeks of driving and its chewed through 3-4 litres of oil doesnt sound good. Im not a mechanic, im not going to tell you whats wrong. Maybe someone on here will steer you in the right direction. My amateur mechanic guess is oil is going past your rings and being burned up. Or you have a serious leak that you really havent found. Do you park on grass? Or where there are rocks? So you wouldnt really see a oil spill. Just saying, might be something very easy to fix or something expensive.

KiwiRS4T Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 So have you topped up the oil or are driving around not knowing how much oil is in the sump? If not buy some oil and drop 2L in, dip it , and then add 250ml at a time so you know how much you are under the full mark. It sounds as though you have limited mechanical knowledge and are using a workshop for everything which is sensible but in order to save money and learn to have confidence in your car it is good to start doing the basics (oil change, plugs etc) yourself.
