just below minimum (I wasn't using it before my sisters boyfriend was)

Thats v low,
Oil that's only a 1000 miles old will not leak out that quick unless burnt or a very big leak that will be visible on the ground.

Cars over 100k with good history will only use a little oil due to valve/piston part wear.

Top it up and rev it stationary whilst someone checks the exhaust, fingers crossed it's not burning it.

Let us kno tomorrow

I suspect it is most likely condensation built up in the exhaust. Your exhaust is going to be a little sooty inside anyway. Nothing that I would be concerned about. A natural byproduct of petrol combustion is water.

Hi guys all the previous stuff seemed to stop now but it is burning oil now but I am getting oil in my intake pipe going from the air filter to the throttle body could this just be the little valve in the breather from the oil filler neck to it?

Yes it could be
