244 excessive oil usage

posted by  someone claiming to be goober on  Thu Aug 15 05:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My son's 240 is using quite a bit of oil. He has beat the living hell out of this car, and doesn't take care of it. But I have had a number of 240's and never had one use a drop of oil, until my 1980 sat for four years and now it uses oil too. But until it sat I never had to add oil to it between oil changes. My current 245 goes 3000 miles and I never add a drop of oil. Anyway, It isn't leaking any or smoking. Where is it going, and is there any kind of easy fix, other than valve seals?
