HI guys:
I have a 1995 Sentra with 127K miles on it. I have had the car since about 117K miles on it. In the last six months - I have put in a new front main seal on it. Also it was leaking tranny fluid from the front CV joint - so that was replaced as well. I also replaced the oil pan gasket at the same time!
I live in Michigan and since the weather was cold, I was using a 15W40 oil. I change my oil every 3000-3500 miles. After about 1500 miles the car was little over a quart low and now it is a quart low after 2500 miles. I looked under the car and there seemed to be a drop of oil on the lip of the alternator. apart from that there are no puddles, dripping of oil from the car at any time. I have had 3 nissans and have friends who have Nissans too and i feel it is unusual for a nissan with 127K miles to burn oil?
since there are no leaks - burning oil is the only thing that is possible. Also are there any other places it is leaking oil from. Also if the car is indeed burning oil - what is the solution for this?
cheers
