ok i got to type this fast too do you have vtech in your car mang!??
Um...yeah. If you hit vtec you burn oil. Fact of life. Although that does seem a bit too much... $800 is more than enough to get somebody to take a look at it to look for oil leaks.
Definately don't buy a new engine, that would just be a waste of money.

hrmm, maybe oil is leaking into the pistons and is just burning off...or do you see it leaking on the floor? if its leaking on the floor, your problems arnt as big, but if its burning, you might have ibgger problems.

if its leaking from the oil pan, you might need to replace the gasket, but before doing that get STP stop engine leak. all you do is pour it into the oil, and let it idle for like 20 min, it rejouvenates seals and gaskets.

On next week tuesday my mechanic is going to look at it and see where the oil is leaking from.i see it coming from the oil pan and the crank case and also looks like from somewhere else but anyway i replaced the oil pan gasket twice maybe im over tightening. Um no it doesnt smoke only when adding injector cleaner which is normal i think.
