How much oil is lost/burnt if there's no leaks?

Postby Digrizrat » Tue Apr 25, 2017 12:20 pm

I I just had to put 750ml oil into my van, it's done about 5,000 miles since the 120,000 mile service. 2013 euro5 125ps fwd mk7

How much oil loss is normal?

I imagine some small amount will leak round the turbo seal and past the pistons and valvestems etc, but I don't know what's reasonable. I wouldn't say there's any visible leaks, but it's not spotless either.
