Strange oil problem

 

Details:

Classic 900, 1989, submitted by Andre'
Question: My oil is disappering every one and a half to two week's deppending on how hard I drive the car. Could this be that I need to change the turbo bypass valve or do I need a new turbo please could someone help diagnose this problem.

  Losing oil as quickly as that suggests a fairly serious problem. Check for smoke from rear exhaust under accellaration, if plumes of blue - dark smoke suggest turbo may be problem. If not check for visible leaks if non internal engine probllem most likely... Sorry!
