Oil loss
I have a 2002 tahoe with 260,000 miles on it. I keep losing oil some how, it's been going on for a couple months. I have been checking under the car for leaks and I've seen none. I pulled the intake off and it looks like the throttle body is sucking oil from the passenger side valve cover. My question is does anyone know a fix to stop my oil loss?

With that many miles it's probably burning it from the piston rings being worn, and/or valve seals. Have you done anything to the PCV system ever?

My old 6.0 would burn oil with around the same miles... You might just be in that mileage territory....
Big dreams, small pockets....

So basically its time for a rebuild. Do you have suggestions on any worthy upgrades for a stock/ daily driver vehicle? I was thinking a ls6 valley cover as one.
