Last Friday my oil pressure light started coming on at every startup, so Sunday I checked it and I was a quart and a half low. I added 10w30 Mobil one thinking I should be good. So this morning I got in the lex and was on my way to work two blocks away and the light was on. So I checked and I've lost a quart in two days... What the ****?! I haven't checked the pan yet but I don't know what could cause this. Does anyone have an idea? :/
sc3 or sc4? throw some cardboard under the car and check it in the morning, if you have oil on it you probably have a leak. If there are no leaks it could be an internal engine issue.
See that's the things, I park on concrete at work and I see no oil at all on the ground, the plastic cover can't be catching all of it. Also, another point to make is the oil is clean but my exhaust tips are charcoal black. I know the vss need replaced but there is no way I have burnt a quart. I'll get home tonight, remove the cover and put some cardboard down.
Ill try both of those and see. What am I specifically looking for when I open the fill cap? I thought that would create a vacuum and kill it. Ill double check the coolant overflow and radiator cap. Didn't look bad a couple.days ago. Looked pretty fresh.

It will be puffing air/ oil residue out the fill hole.
when was the last time the oil was changed? seems like a lot of oil to burn through without noticing. Anything leaking on the engine that you can see (valve cover gaskets, etc.)?
Stock 2JZ-GE. I know my VSS are leaking, I stated that earlier but I also said that was alot of oil to just be burning.
I still dont have any dripping on the ground under the car. However, I did notice that it looks as though its seeping around the pan and rear main seal. If its leaking this much wouldn't it just start dripping?????
or is the combination of VSS and leaks using it all?
