Question Ford Mustang GT 5.0 oil consumption?

I have a 1994 Gt and i was driving it one day and the oil light came on. so i stopped at a gas station and got a quart of oil and that put the level at the full mark. a month later it comes on again today. I checked the dipstick NO OIL there's no stain on the driveway and it doesn't seem to be burning it and there's no traces of an oil leek any ideas?

Oh, it's always possible to have an oil consumption problem. The factory method is to mark the dipstick at the full level (engine not run in a few hours), then run it some miles, then check it again later and see how much oil it did use.
I would be really sure about leaks, though; these engines did leak a lot, and it may have a leak that is just getting blown around without necessarily dripping on the ground. These engine (with miles), also did get worn to the point where they would puff a lot of blue smoke and use oil.
