: CA.,Utah, AZ, NM, CO.TX,Ark. MISS, LA. to Miami,FL. Less than half quart oil used.(About 3500 miles in 7 days)

: Months later an oil leak appeared in the back of the engine. I assumed it was the main seal. Kept adding a quart every 6 0r 7 hundred miles.

: 4th of July weekend I took a 600 mile trip to Orlando.(Constant 80-85 mph for 200 miles.).I had adjusted the CO2 screw mostly to the left and the air flap a couple of notches clockwise. The car was a little sluggish on take off.

: Upon return I took off the AFM and noticed quite a bid of oil in the air hose and in the AFM opening.

: I replaced the AFM with a spare one I've got and the car runs OK.

: Is it time for a wet and dry compression test? I changed the plugs about 6 k ago and they were not fouled. No trace of oil.

: Previous owner told me he had redone the head. The car doesn't smoke at all( as far as I can tell). Mileage is unknown due to the proverbial odometer failure.(it reads 38020K)

: The fact that the head was redone and fuel pump was changed upon total failure by the previous owner makes me think this L.A. car has a least 100 if not 150k even though interior and rubber pedals show minimum wear. (Clutch is about to go too)

: Rear end was replaced which inclines me to suspect hard driving.(maybe it's those huge 16 inch rear rims. I fault them at least for provoking ALL street racers in this mad city against my gracefully aging Euro-Six).

: Thank for any opinions.
