Glen -

I just checked the oil. It is 1/4 of the 'safe' area down from the top. This is a change, since I have been monitoring the oil level at every gas fill, and it has remained at the top line on the dipstick since I changed it 1k mi ago. Also it is less than the golden-clean color it was.

So oil is burning...but how is it getting into the cylinders? What about the turbo?
