Motorhome drinking oil
We keep having to add engine oil to our Chevy 8.1L motorhome in signature...like 16 oz. every 500 miles. It had a leak a couple months ago and we had an oil line changed. No visible leak now. No smok...

As long as it passes emissions, (if required) starts easily, it's not smoking, leaking, missing, fouling plugs, lighting the Check Engine Light, and generating rated power, . . . . . . keep driving it. Add oil when it gets below the "ADD" line on the dipstick. Don't worry about it. Enjoy life and have a good trip.
You can tear the engine down and replace the seals, rings, bearings, etc. spending thousands to save $3.00 every 1,000 miles, if you prefer, but it will take the life of the motorhome to recoup your investment in a rebuilt engine. (that is otherwise operating fine except that it uses a little oil) IMO, some things are best left alone and tolerated.
