It just goes to prove my comment earlier though that you can't rely on checking for a drop in fluid levels when looking for the source of what was being burnt - you specifically said no coolant was being lost in your first post. (as well as no brake fluid or oil) Clearly some was being burnt but not enough to cause a visible drop in the level.

Glad its sorted!
No Injection model
