Hello, my VR6 engine (on 84k) is burning quite a lot of oil recently - I have to put about a litre or so in every fortnight. Theres no mayo in the filler cap and no white smoke but I do get the occasional fragrance of oil burning, particularly when idling in traffic.
Theres a smell of petrol from the exhaust at low temp but this goes once the engine has warmed, similarly theres a bit of mechanical noise coming from the bay and a whine in first gear (like a reverse gear whine) but only when cold.
I know nothing about engines so any suggestions about why its using so much oil would be extremely helpful. Thanks.
