burning oil

[mygreensho]

ok i have check everything i can think off, but im burning oil badly from the pully side of the engine...and im not sure what gaskets are over there it could come from...i do know my valve guide seals are leaking already, but i dont think that would be it, but does anyone have any ideas were to start looking?...could it be the oil pan seal?

A SEARCH would have found this easily:

Valve guide seals are internal to the engine. When they fail and begin to leak, the result is usually a puff of blue smoke when the engine is first stated after having sat for awhile.

It is most likely the front main seal, and or the oil pan seal.

I don't want to sound "inflamatory" but the above response by projectSHO89 details for you where you need to be looking.

The archives and search of this forum is by far the only way my SHO survives.

It can be done while doing the 60K.

leaking near the pulleys are either the cams seals, or the front main for the most part

"Burning" oil means just that. It means that oil is being consumed by combustion in the cylinder and exiting the exhaust pipe. If you see oil running down the exterior of the engine and pudling on the floor then you are LEAKING oil.
