If the oil pressure is around 50# it's nothing to worry about. The oil burning is probably due to being old and the seals being worn out on the valves. As long as you are not using more than a quart of oil every 500 miles it is considered normal consumption. But if you got new valve seasl it wouldmore than likely cut down on consumption.
