massive oil leaks

i have a 96 2dr convertible 2wd it pours oil out of it very badly i am adding 1 qt every week it looks like it is coming from the dipstick has any one else had oil leaks it is the 16 valve and is a 3 speed auto and on hwy tachs very high around 4000 at 65-70 and only avg 25 mpg the light is on and says lock up silonoid and egr i have cleaned egr and ports the lock up is where inside the tranny and if so can a normal shade tree mech change it please help this is girlfriends car and i am in the doghouse on it

can the pcv valve be clogged.this would not let the engine breathe and the oil could be getting blown out of the dip stick tube.

I have a 96 and the same problem and it was my cam seal leaking. You could pull the front cover and look to see if thats where it is leaking. I changed them all because I have heard if you replace 1 it will blow out the others soon after. I pulled the motor and replaced all the seals and oil pan and valve cover gaskets cleaned out all the carbon in the upper intake. Now no leaks and my light is off also. I'm also a shadetree mech its not very hard to do. took me 2 days. Hope this helps. Also check out my post on EGR flow malfunction below. Helped Me.

You could go to autozone and buy an additive and put it in with the oil run it for a week then get back into the engine bay with a blacklight and see where the oil is leaking at. This would be good to do becuase you can fix all of the leaks.. Afterwards you need to change the oil and filter.
