Icon2 carbon/ un-burned oil all over rear bumper . .. .HELP

i have a question i have tons of carbon / un-burned oil shooting from tailpipe all over rear bumper. i have noticed in between the last 2 oil changes i have been 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of oil low, and its not leaking a drop anywhere !!!!

anybody know whats wrong? im thinking maybe the rings or seals are bad ? ? ? havent done compression test yet.

also i never had this problem before i converted from obd2 to obd1 about 3 months ago !!!!

wat motor is it and wat computer... most likely do a compression test and a leakdown and see if you got bad rings. sounds like it if your burning that much oil.

well do a compression test and that will tell you if you getting oil past the rings, and if the compression test comes back good it may be your valve seals leaking oil down the stem of the valve.

If you're burning that much oil to have it all over your rear bumper, you should be seeing smoke... blue smoke. Most likely valve stem seals or piston rings are shot. Leakdown test will tell you where exactly.
