Question about gm Colorado canyon engine

I plan on ask shop about lil oil been see on passenger side motor in top intake under black cover, it toward passenger side back like seep, look like oil for sure, I read that no PVC valve an hose go to reasonater box an sometimes a offrice can clog , it has been use more oil but I thought it from 240,000 Miles an short fast trips work sometimes at 70-75 lot, an hot summer, anyone know if that rate have PVC tube or office clog ? On that engine in a I 4 cyl, probly 2.5 to 3 qts oil in 3000 miles

U got full coverage? U should take that deer hunting some evening….

"240,000 miles...uses 2.5 to 3 qts of oil between oil changes." You answered your own question. Sounds like to me if it's still going then a little "seepage" is nothing to worry about.

I'm guessing with that many miles and that much oil use you have blow by around the rings. Which would cause a little oil on the engine around the PVC valve

Has about 60,000 on platinum urinuim tip plugs which go 100,000 miles easy, no miss, run good, if try , can get 20 mpg

Its Deja Vu, all over again.

Sounds like another trip to the junkyard in the near future.

Might need new PCV. Start here. This would be easiest and cheapest fix. Couple bucks.

Colorado engines use oil. Just keep enough oil on your dipstick. Don't do too much drag racing.

How u know use oil ?

Because I drive my Dad's 2008 Chevy Colorado and it uses a lot more oil than yours does.

I had a Chevy S-10 years ago and it was a trouble-free little truck. I liked my Silverado. I've got a fifteen year old beater Colorado parked here in my yard that has been nothing but trouble. Burns oil just as you mentioned. Been a crappy truck right along.

Some years were worse others, lots gm trouble, not saybsone models ford or chyrsler are better, I not fan either the later mention, expensive, Chrysler expensive heavy front ends always worn out parts, cyl head problem, ford timing chains go out , etc, some ppl really hard on vechiles with no maintence done an just hard on them drive them , lot never change oil

U should take urs to junkyard

Not usually true.

I have a 2004 Canyon w/3.5 5 cylinder. 238,660 miles and a 5 speed transmission. It doesn't use any oil until there's 5-6 thousand miles on it and then its changed. With filter.

I purchased it new, Jan. 2004. Best little truck. Normal parts wear out. Brakes, exhaust etc. Its a little rusted out on the rockers.

I wouldn't take $2000 for it right now. Its my trapping ride.

Not good time buy another with prices

I do have a 2000 chevy 1/2 ton that needs to go. Frame broke above each rear wheel well, but will still run. Has 240000 miles on it and never changed oil filter in 70000 miles. Just dumped oil in it as it had a leak in rear main seal. Was seeing how far it could go, welded frame once but re- broke.
Unlike yourself, I owe nothing on the 4 vehicles, side x side and 4 wheeler I have.

Boy u hit the nail smack dab on the head there!!!

Wifey wanted to look at new cars this morning. So we went to Toyota and Subaru dealers to look at them.

NO NEW ONES TO LOOK AT????
