Default need help w/ friends car...

its not a honda (its a saturn 1.9L 4banger) but i think it has a general problem that can be determined with the knowledge of others here,

he said that there is a slight power loss that he felt in his car and hes been loosing oil....i said probably piston rings and yoru burning. or maybe a warped cylinder or somethign. i did the obvoius checks for oil loss around the valve cover and the oil pan and looked for cracks in the block....when the car was runnign i looked for some smoke comimng out of the tailpipe but didnt see anything.. so i said maybe its only burning in high rpms. is there anything that i havn't done that could explain power loss and oil loss. (about 2 quarts of oil in 1 months time drivin daily)?

pelase give input and please ignor that it isn't a honda because i think that it is a general car problemt hat can be solved here.

thanks

Its very common for saturns to have this oil consumtion issue. I know they have ring problems..not sure if they wear out or if they just suck.
