My car is starting it's new career choice. Magician. It's making oil disappear. WTF? Now it's always used a bit of oil. I thought it was basically par for the course, since I beat on it so much. Well now it has me a bit worried. I've been parranoid about my car since my rocker arm woes. Well that was roughly 3 weeks ago. Now I go to check my oil today, when the car is cold. And there's barely any on the dipstick. Luckily I had an extra quart of Mobil 1 standing by. Now when I replaced my rocker arms I did an oil change. So I know there was oil in it.

I started it up, and began the search to see if I had a leak. Checked the plug, checked the filter, all around the VC nothing. Now here's the bad news. I have been noticing a bit of black residue on my back bumper. I'm sure that's not a good thing. I figured it was due to the fact that I'm not running a CAT, and I've installed a GReddy exhaust. The car runs like a champ. Stronger then ever before, which is what has me confused here. Any ideas???
