Check the following places if you have an obvious leak ie. oil puddles under car. Pan gasket, oil filter to block, forward dipstick hole (yes, they were used on pinto's as well), oil separator, front or rear seals, pan plug.
If there isn't an obvious external oil leak check the pcv. If your tail pipe is wet with oil or you have some smoke than you could be burning the oil. Post what you find.

Check your radiator - If the intake gasket is blown, you can have oil entering the radiator - ask me how I know!!:thumbsup1::lol1:
