oil usage.
I've noticed that my car has been using oil at an alarming rate 4 litres in last 5 weeks.
The oil pressure is a rock steady 3.8 kPa at idle ,it isn't using any coolant,I can't find any sign of headgasket trouble and there is no sign of visible smoke except under hard acceleration.
Because of this problem I'm driving my car around like an old lady.
The car isn't dripping any oil ,anyone got an idea.
my car is a Type R 2.5ltr with v5 heads and has only done 15000 miles approx since it was built.
The car drives fine with no problem and the turbo is boosting up to 1.4 bar
