my L reg corsa burns oil quick and i mean quick, i drove it around 4 about 3 weeks and had done about 500 miles and it had burned all yes all of its oil. The dipstick was bone dry after puting back in twice and even shaking the car. But heres the wierd bit, it doesnt smoke a bit not 1 puff even at high revs. It's a 1.2 8v engine and has done 11500 miles so yes must be worn by why no smoke, i dont mind topping it up but id just like 2 know why its doing it. Im not going mad in it either, any got any ideas?

think the counter has been past its max allready.. put a white blanket under the engine after refilling the oil
let it run stationairy for bout 10 mins and check if there are any leaks
rev it a bit for a while and check it again
then take it for a spin drive it till the engine's warm enough and floor it for a few secs then go home and do the blanket test again..
i think it is spilling oil somewhere out of sight..

Oil burning without smoke is actaully called an oil leak
