Does your qx4 burn a little oil?

[Qxxx4]

Not a big deal,but my 99.5 qx4 seems to burn a little oil here n there. theres NO leaks anywhere. But i noticed i need to top up once in a while, of course the 3L V6 is universal for burning oil but i check the other day and it was half used (mind you i didnt check for 3 weeks the summer its not so bad but the winter it does it alot. Due for an oil change in 200kms and i am overdue for new sparkplugs (supposed to change at 96k kms and im at 103k kms now). I also smell a little bit of gasoline on the dipstick, which scares me, your thoughts ppl? much appreciated

Y'know... I've been wondering if mine has. I haven't checked it for that, but times I've ever checked my oil it's always been full. But I sometimes get a sound that sounds like a little bit of clacking... Been figuring it was an exhaust leak as it is there intermittently.

Now I'm definitely going to check and see. It's been about 1200 miles since my last oil change, so I'm sure I should see something if I am.
