I have a 99 Outback Wagon 5spd that I did a 2.2 swap in. The engine was out of a 94 legacy. The engine only has 125k miles on it driven by a 80 yr old grandma. The engine looks absolutely brand new inside the valve covers with no tarnish or dark residue at all. Ive got 135 to 150 psi per cylinder. Problem is I'm using about a quart of oil between fill ups. Had this problem on my last engine too and thats why I changed it. This is the driest engine I've ever seen without a single leak. It doesn't smoke either so wheres all the oil going? Not in the coolant I know. I checked the PCV valve and it works great, but the hose that comes up to the valve from the case has a good bit of fresh oil in it. I'm thinking I'm misting the oil somehow and it's burning up and not smoking. Ive done many 2.2 swaps before with no problem. What makes this different is that I took a intake manifold off a 95 with a egr and hooked it up to this engine. I took the big hose that goes from the egr to the engine and instead hooked it up to the hose right below the PCV (the hose with the oil in it.) I just made a "T" connector to splice this in so besides that it is just the way it is stock. I did this to create the vacuum the pcv requires to not throw a CEL code. So my question is do you think that this is whats causing oil to get into my intake or do you have any other ideas? Based on other my google searches I see that many people have this problem with other cars so I'm also hoping any answer may help others figure their problems out too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
