Oil a Burnin'

[dismiss@earthlink.net (The Judge)]

Yo gents:

I have about 95k on my '90 80Q.  I had the oil changed about 1K ago, and I
checked it today and it seemed low.  Is it normal for this to happen at
this many miles?  I see no obvious signs of leakage or burning (in the
exhaust, etc.), so what's the deal?  Any suggestions?

BTW, I drive about 400 miles a week, in traffic (stop and go) and all out
otherwise.

Thanks, as always.
