Hello Everyone Im New to NicoClub. I need some help and everyone's knowledge.. I drive a 1990 240sx with a twin cam. The engine runs good the problem is the engine oil.. I dont know where its going.. One day its at a good level two days later its low or may not even have so i have to put new in.. I do notice some blue smoke coming out of the exhaust when coming out of a dead stop, but can it burn it that fast?? what can it be done without spending that much money... thanks alot..

i was losing more than a quart a day, and it was getting very expensive.

KA's have a real problem blowing the front main oil seal. this thing is like 7 bucks from nissan, and it resides under the crank pulley. if its leaking oil will be all over the area here.

you need a gear puller to get the pulley off, which you can rent for free at autozone. then after thats off there is a round rubber seal you will need to pry out with a seal puller or screwdriver.

i spent over 80 dollars on oil during my leak.... it was bad

you might just have a bad ring making you burn the oil. Or maybe like me out of the valve cover.lol
