Hi, I have a 91' 780 Turbo. It had a small problem with burning oil, not too bad but noticeable, so I added some "Barr's Engine Repair" additive. I did some looking around on the net and did not really read anything bad about Barr's products so I added it.
I checked my oil a few times after adding the bottle and the level remained fairly stable for 800 miles or so and then finally added about a 1/2 quart of oil when the dipstick was showing it was a half a quart low. This was weeks after adding the Barr's. I noticed today a smell from the air ducts almost like exhaust so I checked underneath the hood. The dipstick was pushed up and there had been some oil sprayed out into the engine compartment.
The car seems to be fine but I am not sure if I should panic or not? The car has roughly 175k I believe and has always been very reliable. Is it possible that I just did not push the dipstick in all of the way (I think it was dark when I last checked oil level) or do you think that something more sinister is going on?
thanks, CTV
