I know I've been on about this before, and thought I'd discovered the problems and solution with weeping cam end seals and covers (now replaced) but....

Ok, my 190 has just done 61K. No rattles, no knocking, VIS working, pulls really well, very smooth, regularly serviced, no sign of oil leaks around engine or undertray, no smokey exhaust, no burning oil smells, no evidence of excessive oil in the breather pipes or air filter pipe, I follow the correct dipstick procedure, yet it is using about 1 litre of oil per 1800 miles.

Logic says the oil is going somewhere. It's going to send me completely mad. Yes I can keep topping up, but surely this is a sign of something not right and potentially serious. I fear this is going to break me.

Any more thoughts and ideas gratefully received!
