Burning Oil - Help!

pioneerniles · 11-02-2009, 05:44 PM

Hello. I am having a very severe problem with my engine burning oil. I have only found one post related to my exact problem, http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w202-c-class/1342617-c240-1999-white-smoke-losing-oil.html[/URL] However this thread has no results from the suggestions. I honestly think the last section about the rear crank seal gallery is the problem. The seal there is leaking slightly.
The problem happens whenever I want to accelerate or going up a hill. A white cloud of smoke is puffed out my exhaust for 3-6 seconds. I had the engine cleaned and the valve seals were also changed. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

What engine are you running, the V6?

Ran across this, might be a little help

Yes there is the V6 engine in the car. My mechanic has done a compression test but says that a leak down test will not reviel anything else. The compression is excellent. So wierd.

Thanks.

Have you gotten a second opinion from another mechanic, or you have complete faith in this one?

I do have faith in my mechanic but I may try to book it into the Mercedes dealership. Its so long a wait though. Thanks.
