Can anyone offer any suggestions?

There was a very similar question on NPR's Car Talk radio show last weekend.
IIRC the answer had to do with failure of the gasoline to burn fully,
resulting in its running down the cylinder walls into the sump. Try a Google
search with Click, Clack (for the click and clack brothers) and "Car Talk"
and you may find it.


Hmmm..Click n Clack run an entertainment show (no disrespect).
A question about oil leaking from transmission to engine oil stopped
them dead - so I never felt quite the same about them afterwards :-)
