5 months ago, I got myself a screaming deal on a 93 YJ. It's been my dream vehicle for many years and when I found one with 150k miles, no major issues, well kept and in extremely good shape, manual trans, AND the color I wanted UNDER $5k, I knew I had found a unicorn! Now I'm not much of a car person. Actually that statement probably over sells my car knowledge considerably. I had my shift partner look it over and test drive it for me. He has considerable Jeep experience and when he approved, it was mine. I'm learning a lot. I do all the work on it myself under his direct supervision.
My baby has a new issue that has us scratching our heads. She's burned through 3 qts of oil in 3k miles. We climbed underneath and nothing. She's clean, no major leaks, no stains on my driveway, no notable oil anywhere. Looked all over the engine compartment, nothing new there either. Dipstick stays nicely seated. PCV is fairly clean. No oil in my radiator. Checked the spark plugs, (something about compression and/or worn rings, honestly I'm on information overload at this point) they all looked good. I'm not noticing any loss of power, no strange noises. It's just gone. Any advice for this newbie? I'm seriously lost.
