Default Disappearing Oil & Tuning Shop

Hi All,


Bought a '06 Hawkeye WRX a few months ago and noticed it's been going through some amount of oil. Approx 1.5Litres per 1,000 miles. It might be going into my cooling system but not sure. There's no smoke coming out the back when driven hard. There's no water in the oil either.


Any ideas?


Also need to find a reputable Scoob tuner close to Coventry as well cos looking to do a few mods to it...once I find this oil issue. Can anyone recommend one?


Cheers

Check for cam cover leakage. That's a fairly common cause of oil loss.

Cheers will have a look. It never drips any oil on the road which is why i didnt think it was leaking outside of the engine.
