seals? Worn Piston rings?? Anyone please help!!!

Is it burning oil? If so, suspect the rings. If not, it could be a bad
injector. Is it running rough, mising on one cylinder? Check the color
of the plugs. If this isn't it it could be a bad coolant temp sensor
(controller thinks the engine is cold and enrichens the mixture).
