Can you get a picture of where you are seeing oil getting burned off? More then likely you have a leak towards the top of the engine like a valve cover.

If you can get a picture that would help. Otherwise, we need to clean the engine with a spray cleaner to clean off the oil and then look each day to find where it is coming from.

Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks
