    sounds like a legitamite test to me, I notice a difference. Also if you have a leak and it is possible for the motronics to tune it out I would also assume you would be burning more oil.

    Hmmm... so it's the computer thst adapts to the leak. I thought it would have to be physically adjusted to correct for the leak. Anyway, why would it use more oil if the motronics tuned to the leak?
