Engine oil question

[NYC-SE]

You either have a leak, which shouldn't be too hard to find, or you are burning that oil, which would indicate engine problems, most likely valve guides or piston rings. How many miles on the engine?

The car has 85,942 Km.

How can I find if it has a leak?
Is there any other indication to know if the problem is with the engine?

At that mileage I wouldn't think engine problems but it's still possible. Is the car performing right otherwise?

As for a leak do you see any oil an the ground after leaving the car parked overnight? Best to just get a flashlight and inspect the engine from top and bottom. You should be able to see evidence of a leak if one is present.
