[Thusitha Ratwatte]

my toyota allion 240 1.8cc car seems to be oil burn and coolant level drop. but i am not sure about it since i didn't check it regularly. bought 20 days back. what should be the reason or do i have to check further.

Can you open the radiator and oil cap and see what the fluid colors are?

But start things small. Where did you get the inspection done at ? Does the report say anything about any leaks ?

You should keep an eye out for things and try to estimate how much fluid is being lost per X km.

The best-case scenario would be that an oil seal somewhere is leaking oil, and the radiator (or one of its hoses) has a leak.

Obviously, things can get progressively worse from there onwards ranging from coolant and oil mixing up in the engine due to a blown head gasket, piston rings gone bad and burning oil, sludge buildup, etc...

But as always..first things first. Just check the oil and coolant condition. Monitor to see the rate of reduction of fluids.

Hi,  check if both cooling fans turn on.
