Engine burned up oil, but was not leaking. Would put approximately 2 quarts of engine oil in vehicle. This caused engine to smoke. Took vehicle to mechanic who failed to locate the cause of the problem. Took vehicle to another dealership & mechanic claimed "O" ring seals may have caused the problem.
