No leaks or smokes, so there goes the obvious things. Do you have a catch can? Possibly a bad case of blowby? It's quite normal to see up to quart loss in oil between oil changes in turbocharged cars, but down to the first line is quite low. When did you check your oil? It's best to check the oil level after the engine has cooled down, and not after a run or filling up at a gas station--but you should always check.

Per the owners manual, consumption of up to one quart every 3000 miles or three months is normal and acceptable.
