If it’s not leaking it externally, it must be burning it. ---

What size engine, had an 03 truck, debris in manufacture caused head gasket to leak oil on to the manifold, put in a chunk of metal to divert the oil drops away from the manifild. No significant oil loss. There was a TSB, but no recall.
