Evap canister gets grimed up with f*** of dirt because its behind the passenger rear wheel(So is the vacuum inlet(which has a cheap 3mm thick foam "filter")).
This one way or another causes the engine to start pulling oil...something is clogged somewhere, my vac lines are cracked and bulging.
Anyways... Have seafoamed, replaced pcv, compression tested(better than factory spec), emissions are flawless(won't even register). With spotters behind me, popping clutch, red line downshifts, etc etc... Not a hint of smoke of any kind.
So.. Once I get a new evap can I'll cut open the old one and show you how groady it is.
The Vacuum inlet will let anything in.. oddly enough my oil consumption went up when I moved to a dustier area(building new houses, construction, etc.)
This has baffled me ever since I bought the car two years ago.... And I think I may have the culprit.
Any advice would be appreciated!
p.s. Yes my 6th cyl mani cover leaks, but that isn't where my 1.5qt/1000km is going to.
