Chris drives the '91 Corolla to work. About a hundred miles a week or so. 
Car has a couple hundred thousand miles on it. I don't think it burns oil. 
It is leaking oil bad enough to add several quarts between changes. I 
tightened the pan gasket, wiped everything off, can't find any really bad 
single leaks. Transmission also leaks. The whole thing leaks from every 
pore. Toyota wants more to fix all the leaks than the car is worth. So I 
add oil and I keep a piece of cardboard under the car in the garage. 
Inasmuch as auto oil only gets cold in December and January here in 
Phoenix, plus this car is always garaged, I'm thinking to use a heavier 
oil. Suggestions?
