Hi Mark - If you can find out where the oil is going - is it leaking, or being pushed out the exhaust? If it´s the exhaust - then the unit requires a major overall. Could be rings, pistons etc.. If it is noisy it could be the timing chain - or timing chain tensioner. Either way - it sound serious take it to you local motor place and get some advice from them. Cheers S.
