i have just took my G out for a good run and the oil buzzer came on after around 20 miles or so, i immediately pulled up and let her cool down, i checked the oil and the dipstick was bone dry, the thing is its been stood a while and only started up once a week in the garage, when i last checked the oil level was fine, the cars not breathing extra heavy or smoking.
any ideas guys??
Cheers Tom
it either using it or losing it!
check floor and put yr hand over the zorst when running to check
already done Pete, zaust's fine and garage floor is bone dry, no leaks spotted from underneath too, i was just at wortley when buzzer came on, luckily i had some oil in the boot.
I put around 2 and a half litres in just until it reached bottom of dipstick. I'm gonna check it again this morning :-[
jeeez, thats a lot.
its gotta be going somewhere!!!
Still haven't found it yet. I wonder weather the brv has fell out
you mean the breather pipe?
Yes mate, do u think its possible the rings have gone
:'(
surely not suddenly - you think you'd get smoke when booting it.
Check inside boost pipes for oil, then i'd do a compression test, it may be that headgasket has gone,but it'd be burning it off in either case
yeah thats the thing, its not burning oil off, i did notice a few weeks ago its burning a lot of condensation from the zaust but thats surely cos its been stood, been out today and its sweet, just the loss of oil issue, cant figure it out,
Sabbotage?
There's no way it will burn that amount in twenty miles. Have a look at the charger feed and return, especially the return pipe. There's not a lot to leak from them when you're shut down so you might not see too much on the garage floor, but once you're up and running it's a differant matter.

well certainly without you noticing the smoke!
defo not smoking, or leaking, i need to check the hoses i think, ill keep you updated
its going somewhere - sounds like some pixie is draining it on a night!
just a thought, its not going into the water system would it? head gasket gone between oil port and water ports.
no mate heads fine, checked that already, that is a possibility Pete, :)
hmmm, sure the dipstick not broke?
