My mitsubishi eclipse 95 is taking a 1/4 of oil every 50 miles. I don't see no liks outside, my guess it is something inside of engine because my timing belt broked and I just changed 4 valves. Anybody knows whats going on? Thanks

I am assuming, "1/4 of oil" means 1 quart of oil every 50 miles. If this be the case, the oil has to be going somewhere. If it's not running on the ground, it has to be going out the tail pipe and should smoke something terrible. Let me know about smoke out the exhaust and we can go from there. Also, who changed the 4 valves, you or a shop?
