I have a 1988 Honda Accord dx. 66 thousand original miles. Set for many years but garage keep. Runs pretty good but I'm losing a lot of oil. No leaks I can see and just replaced valve steam seals but still losing oil. Help

 

Is it leaking out?

 

No Shows no leaks at all.

 

Look for oil in coolant system or possibly water in oil ,which would indicate a head gasket problem.

 

I did and doesn't seem to be at all plus it's not smoking but when I let off gas and that's only once in a while not all the time. And it runs really good except idling, it is rough at idle.

 

Can oil get into the gas somehow? I noticed that every time I put fresh gas in , it runs a lot better for just a short time.

 

only way oil gets into gas would be at the carb with the blow by. take a compression check to see if it low, if so, the engine could be burning oil. I had a 90 accord, each 2k miles added 1 qt. ground dry, no oil dripping. compression 120+. but still pass smog. no smoke out of exhaust at any rpm driving or slowing. since brand new to 180k+

 

I did some research and it's possible to burn oil with out smoking,most often will only smoke on startup.like Acmech52 states do a compression test.
