Check the oil first thing in the morning before you start the car. Is it overfilled? Often if too much oil, some will be sucked up in the crankcase venting and be burned in combustion.
I had this happen on an old HiLux, and it scared me near to death.

Alright, set up an appointment in two weeks, holidays suck ___. So I'm just gonna be real gentle, and I have a bottle of oil sitting in my passenger seat buckled up and put in a plastic bag just incase. I might pick up a oil filter while I'm at it, and find my oil pan...hehe...the Service Manager was cool, sadly they're closed this weekend, so I have to wait which really sucks ___, but he told me they would check over everything. I'm basically gonna make em do a check over all my fluids, seals, gaskets, hell my valve cover...I'll sit there and wait. I know what every part looks like. I'll buy a soda and pull up a seat. ...
