The induction kit isn't going to make your car burn oil (not more than its designed to). 

 

It works in the same principle as the factory airbox in that the air/oil that gradually sprays out of the breather into the airbox is sucked back in again and combusted/burnt, but there isn't a vacuum to physically suck the oil out past the cams 

 

When did you last check the oil before now?.. When was it last changed/topped up?

I mean it took 1/4 oil not sure how as no where are leaks

Check it once the cars been left overnight on level ground everytime, that way you know it should always pretty much be the same
