Hmm. Just got home from a short trip during which I "accidentally" went well into the orange revs when the engine was pretty cold. 
When I got back, I checked the oil for the first time since my recent service. That was 789km and 6 weeks ago, at which point the dipstick displayed full. Imagine my shock when I checked tonight and the dipstick showed low! A litre in about 800km? Say it's not so. :grrrrr:
I know I will find out in due course with more regular checks, but could I have burnt lots of the oil with my silliness with the cold engine, or is it more likely a case of valve stem seals being kaput?
