Its been 2 weeks since I changed my oil pan and no leak so far. no leaks in rear main seal either .

My teg is burning oil and I'm not really sure where to look at
does it have anything to do with code 12 that I'm reading from my ECU???

Well, burning oil and leaking oil are two different things. If you have determined that you are not leaking anywhere (look at the obvious places), then you are probably burning it.

Have you done a compression check? Perhaps you are losing some through your rings? Do a regular comp check. If the cylinder(s) are low, put a teaspoon of oil in the chamber and do the check again. If the number(s)a rise a significant amount, then it's most probably your rings.

It could also be leaking through the valve cover area? Have you checked it? Plug grommets? Valve cover gasket? Cam seal? Clean your engine well and then drive it for a week. Look for an oily residue anywhere on the engine.

I haven't done my compression check yet, and no leaks found everywhere.
I do clean my engine everytime I wash my car no leaks so far.

Well I do notice a clicking sound on the engine everytime I turn it off(sounds like fast clicks then slows down and clicking sound stops with in a few seconds) .


I"ll do a compression check this weekend
