I still have to add oil occasionally. This interval I had to add about .75 qts of makeup oil. I'm not sure whats up, but I think I'm going to look into the spider hose area since I remember a post from SnowTrooper saying that problems in this area may not show up on a pressure check, and may cause oil consumption.

A while ago I did have a check valve crack in half, and my mechanically declined ass "fixed" it, but maybe I didn't do such a great job.
