By the sounds of it you're down 1/2 a quart after a few thousand miles.

Nothing wrong with that. Even 1 quart wouldn't be the end of the world.
OK - in my other car the dots represent two quarts. So, good to know.

What I'm trying to assess is if I can lose that much oil from valve cover leaks or if I should be exploring other possibilities, namely because the valve cover fix is reasonably involved and if there's something I should do "while I'm in there" I appreciate the heads up.
