I just returned from a 300 mile trip in my '51 Commander, and it used 3 qts' of oil!!!My first clue was at a Starbuck's lot on the way to my destination, and noticed a lot more than the usual drips on the ground. After the trip, the underside is all oily, and the rear bumper area is also oily.
Everything up top looks normal, I suspect the rear main seal is gone, but I have never heard it going out like this. I will crawl under the car today for a look-see. I've probablly put 600 miles on this car in the last year, with the normal drips on the driveway.
