Oil Consumption 200

posted by  someone claiming to be brian on  Mon May 13 16:38 CST 2002 [RELATED]

hi,
Just recently i have been noticing that i have been loosing a lot of oil about (1/2 a liter every 600km) and blamed it on an oil leak on my rear seal. About a week ago i went back home to Toronto and had the leak fixed from an old family volvo mechanic. BTW i have an 86 240 with 480,000km on her.
The problem is that my car is still loosing about 1/2 liter every week and half or about 1200km (mainly highway driving...though the beltway can be a killer). I did have a compression test done about 2 years ago and she passed with flying colours and i have not noticed any loss in power and the car still runs great. I am just wondering what could be wrong with her and if there is anything i can do/check(easily??) to solve this problem or should i just live with this problem (i guess this would be one one way of keeping my oil clean). I do plan on driving her for quite a while longer...she is just reaching mid life.

thanks for your help
