Mine is doing the same! Stuff like that drives me nuts! I ain't dishing out 1000.00 to a shop , and I really don't have the time to do myself. It's losing less than half a qt in 5000 miles , so screw it. I just wash it good when it hits the carwash.

I had a 4.6l that did it for 50k before i pulled it to put a 5.4l in. Never hurt a thing. I wouldnt waste the money on fixing it.
