What to look for if burning oil?

[Shady Pioneer]

Leaks
Valve stem seals
Piston Rings
Head gasket

Work your way through them.  Head gaskets do tend to go on the golfs, 100,000 miles upawards and they are at risk, although they usualy hold up well if its well looked after and not overheated etc..   Valve stem seals go, A common one on valvers, again, a high milage thing...  I doubt the piston rings would have gone ... but who knows,  How fast are you loosing oil?

Mine's on 107K atm, where's the oil cooler?

That's a question Mike, lol! Umm..I dunno to be honest with you, I filled it up last week to just under the line on the dipstick, I checked it last night and it's just where the recess is on the dipstick, so a fair bit I presume?
