    Default Burning oil upon star up

    Hey guys im looking at this car and it burns oil upon startup but not when it is being driven. What might it be? valve seals? piston rings?

    If its an RX7, they all burn during start up, they are designed too. If its a piston engine, valve seals are often dried out and need replacing.
