First of all if you are seeing oil drip out of your tailpipes , it is most definitely CONSUMING oil. Your oil level will definitely be dropping, it just depends on you and how vigilant you are in checking it. Even if it's just the exhaust seals (this makes no sense on an inline wedge head) it will still BURN on the way out of the port and through the system. What kind of seals are they? What kind of rings? What gaps? Low tension oil rings? If the exhaust seals are submerged aren't the intakes? I think you need to get somebody with really sharp eyesight to follow you around and watch for smoke 'cuz it will be there. J.Rob
