Hmmmmm.....Okay that may explain why my '84 Wolfy uses
some oil and I also seem to be getting some blow-by,
as my rear hatch has tiny oil spots that appear on it
betwwen washings. I put in about a quart every two
weeks to a month. Is there any way to make it leak
less? The van doesn't use oil (no smoking). Is this
normal then?......... Thanks.........Rodney
