Bringing this thread up for a few questions that turn back to the gallery gaskets.

I have a 2009 370z with 20.000km on the clock. It has been very much taken care of, but I'm 100% sure it still has original gallery gaskets. I'm planning to change them this winter.

My question is regarding oil and oil consumption. 5.000km ago (some half a year ago) I changed the oil and when it was put in, it was nearly clear. Now when I check the oil, I see that it turned gold in color, and on the dipstick the level of oil has dropped for about 1mm.
Is that color normal?
Should I be worried about the oil consumption?
Could this be an early sign of failing gallery gaskets?

Thanks for the info.
