I always service my car every 12 months oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs. But around the 7 month Mark it's used a good litre of oil and a good litre of engine coolant. Its just done 90,000. Does this seem ok?
Classic valve stem seal failure and burning the oil through the intake etc as for the water there is a load of places on the focus for leaks especially the thermostat housing area or the inbound heater matrix hose.I always service my car every 12 months oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs.

My 19 year old Corolla only had 68,000 miles on her, but at least once a year I'd have to top up the oil between services(if I kept my eye on it, it would have been less, but more often). My mechanic tells me this is normal for it, it never 'burnt oil', or had black smoke, it was an Irish car, it liked a small drink.
