Oil consumption not that bad. Most nurn some oil
Water loss is bad. Especially if it is leaking into the cylinders. Need
to find the leak. Regular additions of water could mean lots of
corrosion inside.

Howdy


I am going to take a look at a 1983 Caravelle. 


Facts:
Uses 1L oil / 1000 km. It seems like it is loosing oil near the
camshaft. Bad?


Uses ½ liter water / 1000 km - bad or normal?


Let me hear your opinions.


Happy driving
