my car keeps eating all the oil and water i.every couple of weeks. i have checked all the obv problems like the head gasket and stf there is no gunk on any of the caps or anything.

but i car heats up 2 90 if i boot it or sit with engine on for a while i dopnt knw if this has something to do with it.

i got told it could be the pistons :eek: which i hope its not

i was wondering if anyone had any ideas wat it could be and wat i could do to check it

have you done a colour indicator test on the coolant ? because to me this sounds like a headgasket problem, and if it is smokin out the tail pipe it could be the pistons were the oil is passing the piston rings and causing the exccesive use of oil .
