whats up everybody i need some help..i have a 96 xj 4.0 auto with 120xxx..im loosing about a qt of oil every 25 miles or so..i only drive jeep maybe once a week.i fill up oil before i do & when i get back dipstick is below the add line...as much as it sits in my driveway theres no puddle under it..also when driving it theres no smoke..i have no clue what this could be..ive checked valve cover gasket,oil filter adapter,oil pressure sending unit..everywhere is clean..i did find a small amount of oil about to drip from my flywheel cover plate tho..but no puddle under it..also my steering box is covered in fluid i highly doubt there connected but figured id mention it just incase..im thinking rms but id think there would be more oil on the ground or on my motor...any ideas??????

 

What color is your coolant in the radiator?

 

Smoke or not, if it's not dripping, it's gotta be burning it.

 

coolant looks like its supposed to..i checked that first to make sure it wasnt milky..it seems like if it was burning that much oil it would smoke...i mean from safe line to add line in 20 miles is alot of disappearing oil

 

I would think that would smoke like crazy too, maybe let it idle for ten- fifteen minutes and see if any puddles appear.

 

ive discovered its burning it wont smoke at idle but if i rev it up to like 4000 then i get smoke...not happy about that...looking for a new motor now as apposed to rebuilding mine
