Default Oil consumption

hmh... well, after 1k miles I'm missing about half a quart of oil.. this is with some mild, and some faster driving

I'm not smoking or leaking oil.. at least for smoking I can't see it - at idle it's OK, and at WOT same - no smoke I could see in rear view mirror, except at night when I see some in lights of a car behind - but still doesn't really seem like bluish.

Anyone got idea what I should check? .. since half a quart for 1k miles does seem a tad high

Oh yea.. I'm also using little thicker oil: Castrol RS 10W60

I park overnight in garage.. and there is no oil on floor.. so I doubt I'm leaking..
*sigh*... only thing that comes to mind is that maybe turbo seals are leaking a bit.. not enuff to smoke.. but enuff for sich oils consumption.. will prolly try to lower oil pressure to turbo and see than.
