Hi I have a 1990 honda civic si with a 1.6l engine it has 183000 kilometers and it smokes alot I drove it 500kilometers on the hi-way and I had to put 1.5 leters of oil when I got home. It doesn't leak any oil but I noticed that it sprays oil from the exhaust pipe. The car was well maintained since new but it sat for 2 years then I had this problem. Could u guys help me please? Thanks
