Default Usa a Dye

Try this trick. Autozone $6.00 uv dye, Place in oil and then use black light. Works great. Then look at area of cam seals and chain adjuster gaskets. Ibet that is where the leak is. Would smell any oil if form ront of engine.

Only works for a leak. Sounds like this car is burning it.
