Put it on jack stands and get under there and clean the area where most of the oil is and then start the car and go back under and watch where its coming from. Should be pretty easy to find if its coming out that fast. Oil pan, Valve cover. how many miles on it?!
check oil filter could be loose.or oil drain plug loose.crank vechicle look under engine area where oil pressure sending unit and timing cover look for fast steady oil leak.if losing oil more likely oil under pressure will leak out more.if you see white blueish smoke when you first start engine could have bad valve seals.
You must have an oil leak . And if you are looseing that much oil that fast its got to be a main bearing seal likely the rear . Get a good size peice of cardboard and put it under the vehicle near where the transmission meats the engine . Do it fast after you park it so the engine will still have some pressure and see where its leaking . You could not possibably burn that much oil in a few days no matter how worn the engine is . But the first step it to locate where its leaking from
If it's oil leaking, you may have a leaking oil cooler line, they have compressed fittings on them and tend to leak, I seen an Aurora with the same problem. V8 engine?
i would guess a blown headgasket....check for a sweet radiator fluid smell from the exhaust pipe. this is bad news if it is. If the head gasket fails several things can develop. This gasket separates the oil jets...coolant jets and the top of the compression chamber from each other. when it fails..sometimes you lose a little compression...sometimes you leak oil...sometimes oil leaks into your combustion chamber (oil burns) or oil and coolant can leak into each other...(an oil slick in your coolant resevoir and or a milky residue on your oil cap from coolan mixing with your oil).If it has blown from the combustion chamber into your coolant, then when it draws in fuel...it also sucks in some water..(thus the sweet smelling exhaust) then when the combustion starts then it also forces some of that explosion through that little leak-hole into your coolant system...causing excessive pressure...then also an air pocket forms from the exhaust. this repeats very often...then when you rev your engine suddenly you have a boil over... i hope this helps you...i hope its not a blown heasket...its around 600-1200 bucks to get it fixed depending on the car. there is a product on the market that might fix it by adding it to your radiator fluid...but i have heard very little REAL info on how good it works...i personally question all "Mechanics in a Bottle" type fixes
