i couldnt see the pic, so i waited for someone else to comment, but i agree with him about the rings and valve seals, something else to check is a pcv valve :thumb: thats a way cheap first check.... my first mini me burnt oil slightly, this helped it alot, it still burnt some oil but not near as much....
