Right on my c14se engine, i've just replaced a camshaft rear oil seal(under dizzy cap), and now i dont use a litre of oil a week anymore.

However i noticed last nite that the dreaded red light is on very briefly when goin round sharp corners, no spots of oil on the floor and no visible smoke, perhaps a bit if i give it stick when cold.

Whats up?, Wheres the oil Goin?

Or shud i just 2.0litre the damn thing and have done?

If it runs shit for 30 secs on first start it is usually the head gasket that is blown/leaking, had it on mine, the oil is probably the exaust valve seals, if you get smoke when powering when warm then its more major, but if you leave it on tickover for over 30 secs then rev and you then get smoke its probably the valve seals.
