Welcome to the club.

So you're certain there's no oil on the drive, or around the cam cover / at the back of the cam cover?

What colour is your exhaust smoke, if it's got any tint of colour to it at all?

typhoon might need cleaning, if blocked could suck oil from engine ?

He came out the winner though because a drunk driver smashed into it and wrote it off and he got £1200 from the insurance

get a mate to follow (or better still, drive his / her car and follow your own car). Whilst driving, use the vtec and take the revs high, if you are burning oil the blue smoke will be more obvious at 7000-7800rpm.

Mine burns oil like a bitch (max to min in 3 weeks or 800-900 miles). also, check the rear bumper and bootlid/number plate for tiny specs of black oil/carbon deposits.

hope this helps.

A lightened flywheel won't make it burn more oil mate, what mileage is the car on? Get someone to drive behind you whilst you VTEC it and if its burning oil it will pour out blue
