I can not se any leak on the ground where I park the car. No drips or oil spraying under the hood. I have the modification 1 on my car. The bigger "check valve". So I can not se anything where the oil is gone. The oil level is moving down, I do not se any leake under the car or under the hood no signs och smoke. I do not understand this. It must be something ;.) Hakan
