hey guys ive got a quick question to bug everyone with.
about a week ago i hopped in the explorer on a really cold morning and started it up.....this light came on that ive never even seen before "check oil". so i did.....seemed fine...a little low but i know i burn a little.....maybe a quart between oilchanges. i didnt think much of it cause i did an oil change on it later that day when i had the tranny out doing the clutch. so filled it back up with oil and have been driving it for a week and now this morning the stupid light comes back on. checked my oil and its low again.....in a week. but i never had problems like that with oil consumption before last week. i checked my parking spot for oil and there are a few tiny drops that have gathered over time but deffinately not 2 quarts of oil on the ground. theres no smoke out the back and i dont see any soot or anything....no oil in the coolant or coolant in oil.......what the hell happened?
anyone know of something common? i guess il be doing a compression test tomorrow. i swear if this thing is starting to eat oil im buying a 5.0 and a solid axle and a trailer:fire:
