I have been bragging up my '89 brick with 280,000 miles on it. "Doesn't burn any oil at all," I say.
Last Sunday I noticed some white/gray smoke coming up from the rear of the car as I drove it. When I parked and looked in the engine compartment, there was a bunch of oil on the lower firewall and rear of the engine. While I sat there a puddle formed under the rear of the engine.
I had a quart of oil with me, so I put it in and drove the car 5 miles home. The temp gauge stayed where it always is, and the car ran the same as it always does. But there was a line of oil drips about 6" apart coming up the driveway, and the puddle formed again.
What is the diagnosis?
