Thanks for the suggestions! I will check the valve cover gasket.
My father suggested the bad tank of gas theory. That's definately
possible.
I have tanked up after a rain recently at a shady place!
Maybe there's some water in there, since there is no lost coolant or
any coolant in the oil.
If it's burning oil, would it be intermittant ?
Thanks again, and if anyone else has other ideas, please post. This
message group is great. I have gotten much help through the years.
Last year it was the front axl u-joints.
