A rusted out oil pan so rusted thru that it was weeping oil but not when sitting in my parking spot. careful cleaning and observation of the area of the rusty old oil pan showed it was weeping and saturating the rust in the surrounding area and I asume that airflow when driving was wisping it away like an expensive air oiler lol.

What’s causing excessive oil consumption in my engine?
Like your engine, I did not notice any telltale blue smoke on deceleration yet the engine continued to burn oil at a prodigious rate. Eventually, I yanked the intake manifold and discovered small dots of oil on the floor of nearly all the intake ports.
