    I'm fairly sure shes not burning oil. as for the other, funny you should say that there is a regular sound (the only way i can describe it is a *put*) from the engine when its idling that is out of sync with the rest. everyone i've let hear it has said....ah sure its grand.

    someone else said that urban start/stop driving can cause buildup. i have moved to the city inbetween NCT's and theres a lot more start/stop in the last year than ever before.

    Make sure you dont have an exhaust leak. Sounds like what you mentioned above. Check that out first before replacing parts.

    This is a pretty old thread so I'd hope that exhaust leak has been sorted by now :)

    OP, you need to post the numbers from the fail report. Otherwise no-one will know what could be wrong.
