NEED: help with burning oil!
ok i got a 91 hatch from a buddy of mine.. it burns oil thru the gears 1-3.. i know that it could be a number of things thats the reason for it burning oil.. but im not good with mechanics. audio is more my thing. someone told me it could need a head gasket replaced.. is that costly? or whatelse could it be.. since i dont know where to start to fix the issue, and i hate ball bustin mechanics that rip me off, i need a list of things to work with.. so i need all you car junkies to help me out with this one.. what could the problem be?

Does your oil have frothy white shit in it? (antifreeze mixed with OIL from a blown HG)
Or is the oil just black?
Smoke?
need more info.

i hate to say this that antifreeze is coolant....flo w fx....lol i just thought that was funnny......look just check the fucking radiator and if its not green ....or if its black and dirty then its a head gasket...if its green ..more likely to be your piston rings ..valve seals....shit like that dude...and that just means either new rings or just a cheap ass block from someone...its simple to do...

Re: NEED: help with burning oil!
I agree. If your exhaust puts out a whitish steamy smoke then you are burning coolant rather than oil, but due to the increase in temperature due to something like a blown headgasket, you could possibly be burning oil along with it, but for some reason I don't think what I am telling you (that is that the source is a blown headgasket) is correct. Hmm... get down and examine your exhaust... it's smell, color (if any), and how hot it is (if you can tell what's not normal for the car)... these things can help others help diagnose and know what is definitely not the problem. Help us help you.
