      I would be checking for oil leaks starting from the top of the vehicle and seeing if anything is leaking onto your exhaust components to start with. You may also need to raise the vehicle up and check for leaks there._x000D_

          Also pull out your plug wires and check for oil in spark plug wells._x000D_

              under hard drag race acceleration it could smoke some.

                I just make a little check up around the engine I saw no apparent leaking (few!)_x000D_
                I just need to put the car on a lift to see if there is something I missed and the spark plugs_x000D_
                if I burning oil is it gonna smell or there’s no link between this and my oil

                  do you have a breather element stuck in the valve cover?_x000D_
                  you have no visible leaks or drips? try putting card board_x000D_
                  under the car when you park at night.

                        If you don’t have any oil leaks the PCV breather seems like the best explanation.

                                  I think you missed my original point, what I meant was that a worn out engine will overwork the PCV system NOT that the PCV system is the problem.
