Oil consumption problem?

I recently bought my 99 Boxster with 43,000 miles on it. I had a PPI done and while the RMS was fine, there was a leak on the cam cover, which was fixed. I have now driven the car 1,000 miles, and it looks like the car is down 1 quart of oil. I only drive the car on weekends, so during the week it sits unused. The car is always parked in my garage that has a light color floor, and there is not a single drop of oil on it. Also there is no smoke and the engine "purrs" when its running.

Is this amount of oil consumption OK? Do I need to do anything? I was so bummed out last night when I noticed the level had fallen yet again. Its fallen about 3 bars in those 1,000 miles. When I first filled up the car, the sensor showed the oil level right in the middle, then each fillup its gone down 1 bar (or so it seems).
