Valve guides--usually intake guides--leak oil into the combustion chamber, where it's burned, and then exits via the exhaust.

You may unstick 'em with ATF, or you may have to bite the bullet and tear it down.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
