Hello all,
My oil level is going down on the dipstick after running my engine for long hours. My question is do I have a slow oil leak that somehow I am not seeing in the engine compartment? or is this just normal oil consumption of an old engine?
I have been running my A4 at normal - high cruising speeds for fishing for an average of 10 - 15 hours a week. I am having to top off the dipstick every 15 hours or so. It slowly creeps down the dipstick. 15 hours ago I was at the full mark. Now I am at about the 5/6ths full mark. 15 hours later I will probably by in the 2/3rds full mark. Is it normal to burn oil at this rate? I have extensively checked in my engine compartment/under the block and in the bilge for oil but can't really notice anything leaking.
