Suddenly the engine has started using a lot of oil. No leaks, replaced PCV valve. Appreciate any help. Thanks, Bob

The best way to find where the oil is going is to add a small bottle of dark purple dye, then search a day or two later with a black light. The dye will show up as a bright yellow stain that you can follow back to the source. Remember to check inside the tail pipe.

Auto parts stores will have the dye, and those that rent or borrow tools will usually have the black light too.
