#1: Oil leakage problem Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:39 am ---- Hello,
My 206 is quite old, it has been with me for 11 yrs, done 250K miles, now it's consuming oil, I have to add 1-2 litre during the 6K miles (oil age) or every 6 months (I change oil twice per yr)....what do check first before judge the internal engine components like piston rings,....etc.
I'm still not sure if this is an external or internal leakage, but the car has done lots of miles.
For consideration, I have replaced the head gasket 1 yr ago without skimming the cyl head, and my mechanic told me that it needs skimming, is this has a relation to my problem?
Thank you.

2L every 5K is a lot.

if your wanting to keep it for a few more yrs the i would have thought it was due a full rebuild or at least a strip down with new rings and shells with a good check over the rest of parts.

If the car consuming that lot of oil, i doubt u will pass your emission test.
