colinfecteau Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have an 05 obxt and only when the heat is on it seems to burn oil does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I wonder if you have a torn cv boot and you're smelling the grease? Or maybe an engine oil leak that you can only smell when the heat is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike07LGT Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Are you only smelling oil when the heat is on? I don't think you can diagnose oil burning only when the heat is on. Have you checked the oil to see how much you are burning? And are you topping it off?

Mike07LGT Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well I would check for leaks under the hood then 03 WRB WRX (RIP) 04 JBP STI (sold) 07 DGM Legacy GT (RIP) 12 OBP STI (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 And I wonder if you've overfilled? Reading the oil level on these cars is a bit of a black art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
