Default Mk 4 Fiesta burning oil

Hi Everyone, i have a Mk 4 Fiesta 1996 P Reg, 1250cc petrol non power sterred car. which has done about 62k, i brought it at 38k and have had it 2 years.

i have a slight problem every 350 miles if i dont top up the oil it burns it dry so i have to put in a pint of oil each week, i havent had anything, but want to know what to do and how much its likely to cost and who to take it too without paying too much money for it.

it doesnt blow blue smoke or have an external oil leak as i have tested for these things, i can only imagine that the oil is leaking interanlly throught the valve stems? and being burnt off.

but will this require a new head and gasket as well as stems.

also i think i have found my ecu which is right under the kick panel in the passenger side, it is a black casing but is mounted in the air, how the hell do i get it out?

thanks if any one can help with my problems

Ryan
