It can be tough to trace, if it's not in a short amount of time, could be the usual suspects, like valve cover gaskets

Got another 1000 miles before an my 3000 mile change is due. I'll have to keep an eye on my driveway for oil spots. In the past i've noticed rainbows in the driveway when it rains. I checked it not long ago and it was in the middle of the dipsticks "good" area. Hopefully im not making any milkshakes

Afternoon guys. Dave, hit the sack is just going to bed. I've heard it said that way so many times that I forget not everyone knows that saying.

Keane, Valve cover gaskets is probably going to be your primary suspect if I had to guess. I change the oil in my truck every 4500 miles or so and lose maybe 1/2 quart to a quart between oil changes. But I know where it's leaking on mine. It's leaking from the PCV valve grommet.

Well, time to get ready for work. Y'all have a good one.
