Hi All, I have a 2.6 V6 Auto 2001 with 49k miles.
Lately i have noticed that it is using alot of oil (prob 1 litre per month) and now and again after a journey i notice a strong burning oil smell coming from the car and u can feel the heat.
Seems to be running OK and  temp guage is between 80 and 85 not too hot and I cant notice any oil leaks.
Any idea on what it could be fellow Omega owners ?

Cam cover gaskets and blocked breathers spring to mind.

Hi

Seems very similar to the problem I'm having. I've put mine down to leaking Rocker Gaskets which I need to replace.

Thanks Guys, Is this easy to do ? Is there Any guidance on how to clean the breathers as im not the most mechanically minded person.

Update, Have had a good look over the engine and have noticed oil on one of the big inlet pipes at front of engine, Have taken the pipe off and there is a bit of oil on the inside and outside of it, Have put it back on securely.
Any ideas as to what is wrong ? Or could this still be the breathers blocked
