hey guys, i have a problem with my ka burning oil. if i run it and then check inside the combustion chamber and there is a pool of oil. it is also using alot of gas so it could be mix of the two. but i just need to know how you think it could be getting in there.I just had the head off to replace head gasket bc it was burning coolant. now no coolant all oil. Please help

yeah, it turns out that coolant got in the oil and it was just too full(about 2 quarts or so). so then it was sucking it up through a breathing point into the intake then of course into the combustion chamber. i changed the oil and now its 100 times better. it still burns some oil but im sure the rings could be changed. Thanks for your help tho.
