Burning oil, new engine?

Ok so my car eats a bit of oil. Not tons, but more then "I" think it should. Now I'm near the end of my warrenty (68K) What should I do? and what steps do I have to go through to get a new engine?

I mean, I think the engine is really reliable and will last to 200k + but I don't want it to start consumeing more so that I have to be checking my oil every few days and adding more. Help! I'm thinking of taking it to the dealer tomarrow and having it checked.. but how do they know exactly how much oil it burns?

For starters . . . Definitely request an engine oil consumption test before it's too late. I am on my 2nd series of test. The 1st tests, at some 1500 miles, yielded low consumption results. However, after some 30k miles, the 2nd test is revealing a totally different story. Good luck!
