My 1.4 Corsa B Sport Seems To Be Drinking Loads Of Oil!!

[KierzoCorsaB]

There Is No Oil Leaks Anywere, I Have Noiced There Is An Oil Breather Just Sitting Loose Beside The Monifold And There Is A Small Filter On It, When The Engine Is On And You Shake The Breather Oil Drips Out Of The Filter, Should That Be There Are Should It Be Somewere Else?

does it smoke wen u drive it .. or wen u rev it up??

No It Dosent Smoke...

Oil shoudln't be dripping from anywhere.

Any oil/mayo in the coolant?

I don't know the setup on the 1.4 specifically but problems like this can occur when head breather pipes block up.

I Have just noticed it startin 2 smoke and found a little bit of creamie gunky poo under the oil cap, so i think its the head gasket so im going to change that, it wasnt oil comin frm the breather it was abit of water r maybe jus moisture, wwhat i thought was oil ended up being a leek under my power steering bottle just had to tightin the swe screw up underneath it....

when you say alot of oil, how often do you have to top it up and how much do you put in? does the car drive fine and what colour is the smoke? The creamy mayo on the cap could just be condensation so check the dipstick aswel and see if thats the same, also take it for a drive and see if the mayo has got worse or disappeared after the engines warmed up.

I used to have a 1.4 that drank alot of oil and it was the valve stem seals that had gone so on start up it had blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. but the rest of the time it wasnt to bad

A litre every couple of days when the car heats up the creamie mayo gets worse, The Car Constantly blows out smoke now

either head gasket or valve steam seals. change both as u gotta get head off to do the seals
