[s-cars] Burning oil or coolant?

[brian hoeft]

if im to base my statement on this post...

...not driven for days, -10F & short drive...

it could just be unburnt gas man. thats F'n cold,, and if it didnt warm up &
out for a short stint, i wouldnt sweat it.  make it a different scenario and
maybe trouble but i wouldnt start pulling hair (or compression testers) out.
