my baby is burning oil, help!
I've got an '89 RS (black) 305, V8, 5.0L, and it's burning oil. Is this a common problem with a relatively easy solution? I imagine it's something very complication, thanks for an help you can give.

Yeesh.. hmm, well...
Does it puff smoke when you start it, but not after that?
or
Does it continuously blow smoke?
If it's the former, it's most likely the valve stem seals, an under 20 dollar for the parts fix. If it's the latter, it's most likely the o-rings, a rather expensive repair if you take it to the shop.
