My engine keeps using oil but not leaking anywhere between oil changes.
We came to a brief stop at a drive thru lane (approx. 5-10 seconds), hard crank of the wheel left, mild acceleration, traveled about 15 feet, crank to right, pull into a parking spot. Immediately prior to the vehicle coming to a stop, I noticed thick white smoke emanating from the edges of the hood, and when the car came to a stop I ordered everyone to get out. Black smoke started as we exited the vehicle. I had the fire out quickly, estimate 45-60 seconds from seeing smoke until the fire was completely extinguished with a chemical extinguisher. Immediately after the fire was out, when I was checking the undercarriage, I noticed a trail of oil leading up a couple of feet from the final resting place of the vehicle. This was obscured by additional oil leaking, shortly thereafter.
