Had the same problem in my civic. Turned out to be worn rings. Could be worn rings, worn valve seals, or PCV system issue.

Check your PCV valve and system. If not then we have the same problem. I turned my motor over with a ratchet and checked the valve stems on the intake side and... ...VOILA! there it was dripping past the valve stem seals. G/L.

yep check your pcv, it probably the cause oil in the intake manifold, you could build an oil catch can or buy one to keep oil from entering your intake manifold, how i know it was my pcv valve, because i bought one of those hard clear tubes, and ran it for a week, after a couple days saw oil in the tube.

It could be the PCV system that's causing problems. OR, it could be something more serious like bad rings or worn bores. Excessive blowby can literally blow an oil mist through the PCV system, and into the intake manifold. This is particularly a problem if you didn't use brand new ITR pistons and/or did not bore the block when you put them in. If these last two factors ring a bell with you, this either or both is probably a factor. But in any case, check the PCV system first. Since it is the easiest and cheapest thing to deal with, it is a good starting point.

Did you check the oil level? You didn't overfill did you?

If you did an oil change 2 weeks ago and you only are that low on oil and your car smokes, I think your rings a are probally bad.

^that sounds about right. check your air filter too. i've seen old jeeps where the actual airbox was FILLED with oil.

it comp test it, but first id fix the pcv. or block it off or run an inline catch can.
