HI
I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA V6 2.0
ITS BURNING THE ENGINE OIL
THERE IS NO LEAKS AND I CHECKED THE SEALS AND THE RINGS.
SOMEONE TALLED ME THAT THE "PCV" COULD BE THE REASON FOR THE BURNING
THERE IS NO SMOKE
WHAT COULD BE THE REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM?

If its burning oil you'll be seeing blue smoke are you? If no blue smoke its leaking somewhere-check the radiator if it has oil in it and also for external leak

The PCV valve purpose is to remove the crankcase vapors, you can try checking it

If its burning oil then it should be noticeable with blue smoke
