Oil level problem :-(

[coopz]

Ok so this is a bit odd to me, I'm not sure if the 1.4 16v just use alot of oil or what but I've found my oil level is dropping, I wouldn't say regularly but more often than any other car I've owned.

So the technical bits I've done, I've had it pressure checked, all good. There are no leaks anywhere, oil filter is new with no problems there and water is all good and blue with antifreeze.

Can anyone maybe help shed some light on why it may be losing or using oil? Much appreciated

my 1.4 16v dosnt eat oil at all, if there are no leaks anywhere and your oil isnt discoloured or anything as if the head gasket is at fault then the only other place it can be going is past the rings... is there any smoke comeing out the exhaust when you give it the beans? any other faults or noises with the engine?

Nah nothing at all, just disappears without trace lol

It's either dropping it or burning it as above. The question is how fast and is it acceptable "use"

it could also drop on the manifold or any other hot part and evaporate. just an idea.

I've checked as much as I know where to look and there's no sign of dried or burnt off oil, the oil light seems to come on every 3-4k miles
