ECS's Castrol Edge? It is only 51% to 70% synthetic. At this point, even 100% synthetic won't fix this, but you should consider 100% synthetic from now on. When you see "Full Synthetic" it means the oil is greater than 50% synthetic. Try LiquiMoly 5w40, NAPA carries it...it is 100% syn. You are likely now losing oil through the valve guides and seals...and will begin smoking noticeably when a ring is shot. I suggest you begin putting money aside...will cost almost $500 for a head rebuild which will include new seals and guides for the valves...but you will need more for any labor if not DoingIY.

Well between max and min there is only 1 quart so that would be a quart for 1k miles which is within VW tolerance...

Smoke would be visible out the exhaust when a ring/s is shot...bad valve guides and seals wouldn't smoke noticeably unless they were very badly worn. I had both "bad guides/seals" and "a ring stuck in one piston". Mine smoked badly when I would let off the throttle and coast while in a low gear...and then if I had given it near full throttle some time just before coming to a stop, and would smoke badly when I would take off from the stop. Finally got it taken apart and found the valve stem guides and seals needed replacing, but also had oily combustion chambers in cylinders #3 and #4 which pointed to taking the pistons out for inspection only to find the stuck ring in piston number four. I replaced piston-4, all the rings and rod bearings.



Yes...do the leak-down...a compression test may show something as well.

I think I found the problem it’s a bad valve seals gasket because oil is coming up through the torque screw it look exactly like the picture below

have your PCV checked, then have those seals/gaskets and possibly valve cover replaced nowish or you get to replace your timing chain, cams, etc when the oil pressure driven chain tensioner fails. Also check your coilpacks/spark plugs too.

Yes I've had this happen before.

Why an "Oil change every 1000 miles"? ←from original post #1.

That leak is not where you are losing 1qt/1500 miles.
