Hello Listee: I'm a rookie...so I apologize ahead of time for any stupid questions. I have an '86 Syncro w/ a 2.1 L WBX that was rebuilt ~1,500 miles ago. I just purchased the van, and it's been running great. I live in the mountains of Park City, UT and many times am driving up and down steep hills. Today I was driving up a steep hill and my oil warning light and buzzer started sounding. I immediately pulled over and put a quart of oil in it...without checking the level first. That was a mistake. I start up...make it until the next hill, and the warning starts up again. I pull over and THIS TIME check the oil on a level surface. I'm 1 quart over now. I don't think I was ever low obviously. The warning doesn't occur when I'm on the flats or going down hill. 1. Any suggestions as to where to start? 2. Should I stop driving it until I resolve this...even though the warning usually doesn't go off? Thanks, Brett
