        Possibly Bob, but like I mentioned in my original post: I do have some
small seepage at the cam cover, but I think the engine may be overfull when the
dipstick reads full and so I may be pushing it out the breather. It goes to 1/2
a quart low and stops and stays there; if I top it up it creaps back down
slowly to 1/2 quart down and stays there. I've resigned myself to the fact that
it likes being down half a quart; so I just let it stay there now. It never
goes any lower, and the cam cover seepage is miniscule. Technically you are
correct though, if I am pushing excess oil out the breather it is being burned
in the combustion chamber.

                Happy motoring and may your weekend not be weak on either end,
