I am having problems with my 98 Nissan Sentra burning oil. I have taken the car to a mechanic and he said he found no leaks (I didn't really want to spend the extra money for him to take apart the car to find the problem). I just started a new job and there is one intersection on my way to work where the car always burns a lot of oil. It only does it in 2nd and 3rd gear (if I am going through the intersection at faster speeds nothing happens). I will go over a small bump in the intersection and feel the car not want to accelerate and sure enough there is a big cloud of blue smoke behind me. Now the car burns a quart of oil each week (I drive a little over 300 miles a week comuting to work). I've also noticed that the car seems to burn a lot of oil when I am driving in the city in stop and go traffic. With the exception of a few intersections, the car doesn't seem to be burning oil (there is no blue smoke most of the time). Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem could be?
