Default Oil loss in my red 7m na

OK Guys I have no oil leaks in the front or top of the motor, no dripping, no evidence of leaks in those areas. I have to assume that I am blowing out of the rear main now. Or possibly the drain plug will look at it tomorrow.

Found my car with over 3 quarts low, after noticing the oil pressure guage was dropping to nothing. Only get some blue smoke after back pressure builds down a long hill and then a nice puff barely visible at the end of the hill on take off.

That would be kind of expensive as I am looking at 4 quarts loss at about 500 miles of driving. This stuff aint cheap.

Overheated today using the AC and not knowing I was low on oil and not fully burping the car after the radiator hose replacement and AC repair.

Looks like I will be watching the oil closely now till I decide where I am losing it. I suspect I will have to drop the trans and replace the main seal.
Get a new drain plug and gasket. Might as well throw a new clutch plate in there as well when I do it.

Can the trans be dropped easily or is it better just to pull the motor with trans attached?

AC IS WORKING AWESOME! My first AC Repair and recharge and I guess I got it right. Can the motor be pulled without opening the compressor lines? I would think it could but imagine it would be tight.

Oil pressure went back above 20 at 2,000 rmp after refill.
Comments would be appreciated. Thanks
