I really hope it was just that the previous oil change didn't add enough / very very small amount burned.

I'll chime in back in this thread when I close in on 80k miles. I'll be doing oil change, coolant, and tranny fluid (doing it every 40k miles)
Keep us posted! Possible leaks from what I've read, if this is the case, could the valve cover gasket and/or the heat exchanger gasket. I still reckon if there is a leak anywhere, there should be traces of the oil that has leaked out, so might mean getting the car onto a ramp and remove the plastic lower engine covers to see...
