Re: engine burning oil only when warm

Is it possible the crankcase ventilator is plugged up? In that case when the engine gets warm pressure would build up in the crankcase forcing oil pas the rings and valve guides.

On older cars the vent pipe or road draft tube was supposed to be cleaned regularly but they seldom were cleaned.

Next question, does the engine smoke when you first start it, when you step on the gas, or when you lift off the gas?

#1 is bad valve guides, #2 is rings, #3 is valve guides.
