My car burns oil :( Help?
how is the oil pressure? any odd noises from engine? even though theres no visible oil on the ground how does the bottom of the engine look (wet with oil, dry, clean, etc?) after about a week after changing the oil, what is its condition? (clean, dirty, black?)

I was told there are specialty shops that can add a dye to the oil that shows up under blacklight to help detect leaks for about $80. Havent really researched the truth behind it though.
