I was taught to hold a dollar bill over the exhaust (hold the short side and let it rest over the pipe, do not hold both sides). If it sucks it into the pipe, you have a problem, if it just flaps in the wind, you are in good shape (oh yeah, and don't let it go, if you have a valve problem, you just lost a dollar........... or more depending on what you used).

i wouldnt think that it would throw any codes, and depending on what valve it would be seems like that would justify oil consumption. if an intake valve was burnt, it wouldnt seal on the exhaust and if the exhaust was burnt, it would suck in exhaust gases on the intake stroke so i dont think it would burn oil then.... maybe you wouldnt burn oil if your valve guides are still in alright shape
