Maybe I have more than one problem.

Firstly, the car does use a bit of engine oil - 1L per 1000Km. There is also some oil leak. However, the smoke was dense white rather than black if it was burning engine oil.

Secondly, the automatic transmission oil does not seem to go down at all. However, the technician did say there were soem deposits on the pan last time (1 week ago) he service the auto transmission.

Do those valve guide cost a lot of money to repair. Should I keep the car or simply upgrade it.

Many thanks in advance.
