Oil level dropping
No obvious drips or leaks.
Some minor discoloration around Oil/Water unit. Not all that wet. Minor oil weeping one screw on sump gasket, front, power steering pump side. No blue smoke. Don't think I'm burning it. No black stain on the drive. Oil looks clean (but I'm topping it up regularly.. hmmph!) Coolant looks cool; ie blue and no oil, no foam. Oil Air separator no brown gunk or condensation. What have I missed? Apart from about 1/4 pint of oil every 150 miles. Any ideas, Rissole

Therapy? That's a quart every 1200 miles, you're likely burning it. Not ideal, but not the end of the world either.
Just drive and enjoy.

Take the intake boot off and look at the throttle body for any oil pooling. Might be getting sucked through the intake due to a vacuum leak somewhere in the air oil separator hoses.

Porsche's "OK" oil-consumption spec is 1L/1000km = 1QT/620 miles so you're doing pretty good if you drive the car regularly and go hard from time to time.
