If it is genuinly burning and not loosing it and the fact it has oil in the exaust i would think that it a least will require a top end rebuild of the valve seals the worst case is that it needs new piston rings which will prove very expensive.If you bought it from a trader take it back.

If have problem with low compression or your engine smokes and burns oil caused by bad piston rings then it's worth to try staff from this site: www.engine-recondition.co.uk Added it to my fifth car allready and gained same results as the ones before: no smoke and oil consumption what so ever! There is plenty so called "oil snakes/thickeners" but this stuff works different
way. Can 100% recomend it as it saves money
Tried this on following cars:
* Vauxhall cavalier 1.7td (isuzu)1993
* Vauxhall combo 1.7d 19995
* BMW 320d 1999
* Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 1999
* Honda Accord 2.0 Vtec (F20B6) 2002
All this cars had high mileage on their clocks and used a lot of oil (average 1liter every
600miles) Hope that help

You seem to be pointing this same advice to all engine problems, so i guess this is your company or you have a connection with it. as you have done this to several other posts.!!

"but i took it to my garage and he has informed me that the car is burning oil a and the exhaust inside is full of oil soot "

Hmm .. so they opened up the exhaust to check..

Try driving it on a long run - at heast 20 miles - it may just have done lots of short journeys and needs a good Italian tuneup.
