I bought my classic (92 3.9 Vogue SE) in Jan and had it serviced straight away.
Noticed after a few months (I don't do that many miles, just occasional long motorway journeys) that the oil light had flashed on, checked it and not much in there.
Thought it might be leaking from sump gasket so I changed this and the oil filter, re-filled with oil and thought no more of it.
This was a few months ago and after doing around 1,500 miles, I noticed that the oil light was flashing again.
I've heard of engines drinking oil but that would be 10-12 litres of oil in only 6 months and 2,500 miles.
This doesn't sound good to me and I would welcome your suggestions and ideas before I start taking it to a garage so I don't get completely fleeced.
Many thanks
