This is a first Saab Experience for me! I have been driving them for years from the v4 to the 2.0, 2.1, 2.3 and the 3.0 - blah - I love the saab 4's Anyways this is my sister's car that is having the problem. The car only has 80k. She told me she put 2 quarts in last week and another two today! I know the car has minor leaks and I was going to r&r the valve cover gasket, and oil pump seal next weekend. But now fear this is not the problem. She says there are no puddels and she sees smoke from the reat. For added info ever since the purchase of the car two years ago oil light flickers at idle at times. But never made noise so didn't think twice about it. I plan on fixing the car it is in great shape, and we are a Saab family and hate to let them die. I will be doing all the work I am an ASE master Tech, but work at a Ford dealer. Any thoughts on what to look for? I have driven 2.0 turbo 9000's for almost 300k without any signs of oil burning. Is this common with the 2.3? If so from where? I think w/ the low milege I would fix, but should I just get a bone yard engine, because to the best of my knowlege these engine's don't go! Any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advace for your help guys! You have always helped in the past!
