Whe my engine is hot my exhaust emits black smoke, my oil level is dropping slowly so I know im burning it but where should I start to look for the problem?

Check cylinder compression. Check for leaking valve seals. Leaking piston rings etc.

Thanks Dave, it's actually not a Ford Escort but an Ingersoll Rand ground compactor! The symtoms and the solutions should be the same though! Once again, thanks for your help.
