| Description of the problem | Over the last few years. My 07 rav4 has been using excessive oil. Thought it was a leak from below. But no drip on driveway was visible. No signs of a leaks. When the oil was changed, over the course of the years. Their is very heavy blow-by when the engine is running and the oil filler cap is removed. Couple of mechanics have said, this is incorrect. |
