I am aware there are some issues with this model consuming oil but 1l over 11 months c.8000 miles seems more than reasonable to me.
Sent it for yearly service today and they have advised there is an oil leak with oil all over the engine and c.£360 to investigate.
I do have a warranty (for what they are worth) but they will only cover a specific repair i.e. once the issue has been identified.
Not sure whether to
1. Leave it... I'm a bit tight at the moment and could like with 1l every 8K miles
2. Investigate now whilst my warranty is still active so at least there is a chance the repair will be covered
What would you do
thanks

Its still under warranty, so you can either bring it to a dealer or a Volvo Specialist (Just let them know its under warranty)... the warranty won't be affected, as they use Volvo parts. A dealer will be much more expensive per hour comparatively to a specialist.
I'd find an independent Volvo place, you might be able to save some cash that way. I'd definitely get it fixed though.
Hallmark Volvo in Stockport are a good independent Volvo garage, as is Trevor Burgess in Hyde. Google those names, you'll get the contact details. Both are open Monday-Friday, no Saturday's.
