Dear Tom,
There is a scrubbing noise coming from the left rear of my Toyota Camry LE. I had it checked out but they can’t find anything wrong. Please help! It sounds like some part is rubbing against another part. When I drive into my driveway it gets louder. When I am driving down the road, it is not as loud but I can still hear it.

Dear Tom,
I own a ’94 Mitsubishi 3000GT-SL with 121,000 miles. At about 95 – 100,000 miles it started burning oil (no leaks obvious) with blue smoke in the exhaust on startup. In the last couple of months the oil consumption is rapidly increasing. On “general principles” I replaced the PCV valve recently to no avail. On a bulletin board for these cars, there has been talk of valve oil seal problems. Could the seals get to the point where they fail completely and oil consumption take a sudden leap?
