200TDI oil useage?

[fender22]

Checked my oil level this morning and looks like I've used about a litre over around 4000k's. Doesn't blow smoke (except starting), no oil in water or water in oil and doesn't drip a drop.

Is this normal in a 200? Only has 140,000k's on the engine but is older of course. had the radiator replaced where some oil was lost and don't know if they topped it up or not after so not panicking but do these engines normally use a bit of oil?

smoke at start up is it black or blue? black is normal which is fuel not oil usage

how was oil lost when replacing the radiator?

The smoke at startup is grey, and not a grey blue either. Looks like fuel to me? Would diesel smoke normally be black? I've given it the beans quite a few times going up hill at night with car head lights behind and no smoke at all. Even my Freelander2 blows a bit going up hill under load.

Aparently the oil lines go through the radiator or past it into an oil cooler, or so I'm told. There was a fairly big puddle of oil under the radiator the next day, and it was the excess from undoing the oil line to get the radiator out apparently.
