Do a compression check, if there isn't a big difference between compression in the cylinders, I would just save yourself the pain and regularly monitor your oil levels.
As for everyone else, time to open up the engine and get to work on head gaskets.

Damn man, I bought an OBD II and that has to be my best investment. Everytime it rains in Tx in floods the street I live off of. The water level gets high enough to swamp my air filter which messes with the A/F ratio and of course gets to the MIL eliminators and gives me a high circuit from being wet. So I bought the OBD II and I have had to turn the light off like four times since. I figure it cost $85.00 here to turn off the light and to tell you whats wrong... I bought my OBD II for $120.00.. so you do the math.
GO BUY ONE is my point. LOL

As for SXGT everybody here already beat me to it...probably head gasket related. If you want to check compression as someone suggested, a pressure guage you screw into your spark plug holes is a cheap investment and will quickly diagnose head problems.
