I keep losing oil in my Si but there are not any leaks anywhere and sometimes smoke comes out the exhaust (not much) I go through 1 quart of oil ever 2-3 weeks. When I checked the compression the cylinders read
#1:110
#2:120
#3:90
#4:95
So anyone got any idea of what it could be, piston rings possibly?:thinking:

well your compression is only good in one cylinder so im guessing that its the rings. also thats a lot of oil to lose in 2-3 weeks.

i had the same problem in my old SI, my newer b16 i don't have to add oil. rings and valve seals. if you don't spray the car behind you with oil then the valve seals are good but if it burns a blueish colored smoke it's the rings. how many miles are on it?

ahh, then it's the rings, there's not much smoke, barely noticeable at all, but it's got 163,6xx
