Usually the common fault for the oil leak is the oil filter been corroded, I've recently had that changed but I'm still noticing my oil level going down rapidly, I've parked the car up and left for hours but there is no signs of leakage what else could possibly be wrong for me to be going through so much oil ?

Punto (Mk2/2b) Oil leak
How much is it using and how many miles are on the car ?
The usual suspects for mystery oil disappearance are worn valve guide seals or oil control rings. You might see bluish smoke out the tailpipe at startup or under hard acceleration. The spark plugs could be coated in oil as well.
Another would be a blown headgasket. Oil could be appearing in the coolant but you should have other running symptoms.

That's ten times what a two stroke would have burned. Has to be a leak somewhere.
