I have a 1998 S-Reg pug 406 1.8 LX, with 33,000miles on the clock, Since i bought it i have covered about 2000miles and it has used 2.5 litres of oil. There does not seems to be any smoke apparent from the backend.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Regards
Andy

Try a change of oil and to a different manufacturer.
Peuogeot petrols of the past have been noted for oil going past the valve guide seals when they rack up some miles, if that mileage is genuine this shouldn't be your problem though.
No obvious leaks, it does sound excessive to me but could just be the brand of oil being used.
