If it's not getting into the cylinders or coolant it's
not a ground shaking problem.  Also, you want to make
sure that coolant isn't getting into the oil, or else
you will be looking at an engine rebuild like yours
truly.  You can tell by watching you coolant level,
and you oil will be a little foamy.  You want an old
MC engine to rebuild and put in there? ;)
