let idle, or even get a mate to rev it at a sustained high rpm while you look for oil leaks, if you can find any then drain it and put some 15w40 oil into it and see if it still loses all | |

surely if the oil is escaping thru the rocker cover then there would be drops on the drive | |

yer that ur problem, you take the top layer of, the metal cover, which is bolted i think, the u should see the rocker cover, that will probably flack of in ur hands because it is satuated in oil, then just replace it and clean the area. there migth be a few extra bits u have to take off, i have only watched my made do it on is fiesta, but it is easy i have been told. | |

sumps are about £70 and the gasket is £10. my dad might do mine to save the money on the labour | |

it could be that ur rocker cover is bust. the rocker is the corky think that site uder where you put the oil in. if you can see oil leeking down the front thats ur problem, they are very cheap and easy to fit. get them for halfords. | |
