3208 Oil Leak

[dru penland]

I sent this earlier and for some reason it did not post.



Just wanting to know if there are any givens for an oil leak which leaves oil
in the valley of 3208T? I have no valve cover leaks, although it would appear to
me that oil would have to leak up hill for a cover leak to be doing this. After
a 500 mile run the other weekend, I noticed about a 1/8 cup of oil in the
valley. I also would like to know how much consumption is acceptable for a
100,000 mile BB. Seems that I'm burning quite a bit, however I don't see a lot
of blue in my exhaust, 'cept for start-up. I figure that's coming from valve
seals. I'll hold off on what's she's burning so as not to embarrass her.

Thanks for your time. Hope to get this sorted out before my 3500 mile round
trip in August.
