    S3 drinking oil ?

    My s3 had a full service around a month ago and my check oil light came on so I checked it and its right at the very bottom of the dipstick, it only just touches the bottom of the dipstick about 2 mm is that normal for an s3 to drink oil ? And as far as I know I have no leaks.
