In regards to the '78 Chevette that erraticly drinks oil:
If you haven't replaced it recently, change the PCV valve. If it is sticking
in the open position, it could create enough vacuum in the valve cover to
accumulate oil around the valves. The oil could then get past the valve stem
seals and be burned or, worst case, be pulled into the intake manifold thru
the (open) PCV valve.
Good Luck!
