Not necessarily a leak per se, but some 01's have been known to consume an excessive amount of oil. (Depending on what you'd consider excessive.) The problem stems from piston ring "oscillation", and typically only occurs with high engine RPM coupled with light engine load. Example: cruising in 1st gear, RPM at 3000-4000, and not under heavy acceleration.
If this isn't your driving style, then you shouldn't have any concerns (I don't).
