I sincerely hope that was a 'Tongue in cheek' answer Marie, otherwise Doz will be dining out at your expense for a week! :D ;D
If it ain't broke keep fixing it 'til it is!

On a V6 - oil smoke from under the bonnet at traffic lights, miss-fire, oil on the ground under your car ;D

I imagine it is easy to see if you have (one) leaking cam cover on a 4 pot :-\

No idea for a 4 cylinder :-\
My old 2.5 v6 had done 200,000 miles and used to use a bit on motorways (approx 1/2 litre in 1000 miles) but didn't use much around town.

My current 2.6 v6 has done 170,000 miles so far and hasn't needed topping up between oil changes (which is nice  :))
