This is why I more suspect internal leaks.
<I have been loosing a lot of oil in the last several months on my 2001 V6>
And this is why I don't think the majority of that oil consumption is from external leaking.
<Over the weekend I took a look under the car and the oil pan is entirely covered in dirty sludge-like oil>
If the owner would look under the car and see oil dripping and leaving a mess everywhere, yes it could be external but if it is just like all the other V6 engines I see with oil crud/dust mixture clinging everywhere under the engine, that's not where "a lot" of oil is escaping.
The difficulties with internet diagnose is that we only have the posters eye witness statement and sometimes a repair shops own misdiagnose to go on.
And this is why I answered where they oil pump is.
<Does anyone know how to locate the oil pump on the 2001 V6>
