losing oil, might be burning it out exhuast?

[///M42 sport]

Ive had to fill about a quart a week. I drive about 150miles a week. Also noticed that I have alot of "dust" in my rear panel. Could this be burnted oil? I dont notice any smoke from exhaust. Where to start?

I hope you are leaking it out, say maybe from the rear main? Have a good look back there and triple check for other leaks. I would imagine that is too much oil loss not to see coming out of the exhaust.

A quart a week? Holy cow. I go through like 1/2 quart per oil change. That's a substantial leak. Crawl under there and look around. Could be your pan gaskets, rear main, oil filter housing leaked badly on mine. Even the little O-ring for your dipstick tube. All pretty easy to fix aside from the rear main and upper pan.
