Burning Oil

[warriorrider13]

Every time I check my oil it appears that it is going down after every ride. Could the engine possible burn that much oil. Before I rode it, the oil level on the dipstick was in between the two lines and then after I took it out for a boot and waited 1 hour before checking it, it was right on the minimum line. I just replaced all my gaskets and seals in the engine. I dont know but is using a lot of ******* oil. I checked for leaks and there doesnt seem to be any but there is always one little drop of oil on my garage floor.

You would know if it was burning oil, it smells and you would see the smoke. You could clean the engine real well and get it hot and park it, you should be able to see where the oil is coming out if it is leaking as much as you think it is.

are your valve covers sealing properly? My cousin didnt tighten mine down and when it was idling some of the oil was spilling on, the exhaust and it was a good thing I noticed it.
