Possible breather problems, or rings (and it doesn't have to burn oil)

But if you recon the dipstick is dodgy, that has to be the first thing to change

You can have the gas from the cylinder leaking down into the block (and therefore popping out the dipstick) but the leak doesn't have to be big enough to let oil into the cylinder for it to burn.

I had a CVH that people used to think was on fire because of all of the gas coming out under the bonnet

Used next to feck all oil though...
