im havin a strange problem with my ep82 starlet gt. the oil seems to be disappering ,its not smoking or runnig rich (afr checked) and ive got near perfect compression as i had that checkd 2,
im thinkin it mite be the turbo cause there is oil on the top of the sump pan and the back of the turbo but i cant find any drips or smoke any help would be mint.

if you haven't changed the oil recently it could be the thingst hat protect your engine in it having broken down. I suggest changing the oil and seeing if you still have a problem

ive done the oil change about a month ago and thats why its startin 2 worry me i used 2 have a 20v and that fixd it but this 1 aint come right

Is there a pcv valve on the starlet intake? A tube that goes from the intake manifold to the head. This allows air to be sucked into the top for some reason I cant really remember. My 4age had some oil coming out of the pod filter. Thats where a lot of mine went. I just fitted an oil catch tank catch the oil, and still allow the engine to breath. My motor, the 4age is reknowned for burning oil at full throttle and high revs. Because some of the oil gets into the intake manifold, the engine would suck it into the combustion chamber at high revs, and burn it then.

All engines burn oil, depends on if you thrash em or not.

Could need a good tune?

Toyota engines are also known for using oil.
