TOYOTA SPRINTER TRUENO,(COROLLA)
1999, 140000KM, 1.6 20 VALVE (AE111)

THE ENGINE WAS TOPPED UP WIT OIL AND 5 DAYS LATER THE OIL WAS AT THE MIN LINE ON THE DIP STICK.
I THINK IT COULD BE THE PISTON RINGS OR THE VALVE SEALS BUT NOT SURE..
ANYONE KNOW WAT I SHOULD DO......

Generally, when seals go bad, you see blue smoke on start-up or under high vacumm i.e. when you are at a high rpm and let off the gas.
Rings that are bad will generally cause blue smoke all the time, especially under acceleration or high load.
Do a compression test to check for bad rings and a leak down test for seals.
