3208 Oil Leak

[pattypape]

Many times the fluid in the valley is fuel from the injector pump,
or fuel line leak. Check the fuel line connections at the injectors.

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.
