[QUOTE="owm, post: 603911, member: 26452"] Did you physically check the engine oil level using the dipstick rather than depending on sensor? If you top up to the required llevels and the oil level still drops after a daily check over five days, you should inspect around the engine and see if there is any oil leak around the engine. If no leaks detected, then it would be good to do a compression test (ensure good PSI readings across all the cylinders and/or a leak down test at your regular workshop to see the results. If both tests show less than acceptable results, then got to crack open the head and inspect in greater detail. [/QUOTE]
