And its not even leaking. We're thinking that the block just has a shit load of wear and tear, probably from never being kept up by the oringal owners, and run on bad oil/no oil at times. I guess theres nothing i can do to help this? I also heard that im losing significant power because of this [Frown] .

What kind of oil do you run? You're not losing any noticable power over this.

just 10w30, not full synthetic

If you're really paraniod, do a leak down test on your motor. If you don't care, just stock up on cheap 10-30w oil [patriot]

Run 20W-50...you won't burn as much of it.

Go have a leak test and a compression test done on the car at least then you will know what is wrong. Have a good shop look it over and it should cost you less than $80.

like Dan said, check the back rear center of your intake with a flashlight. Is there oil fucking everywhere? if so, fix your PCV!!
