Re: Insane oil leak

Pull a couple of the oily plugs. If the tips are also oil coated, could be the valve seals. But as mentioned, a normal sign of burning oil is blue exhaust smoke.

Another reason the outside of the spark plugs could be oily is leaking valve cover gaskets. But that much leakage should show up on the floor.

OEM valve covers or aftermarket? Some aftermarket skip the baffles for the PCV connections. No baffles could cause excessive oil consumption.
