Is burning a half quart of oil every 40- 50 hours considered normal, ok.
Or could it be a sign of engine problems.

With Westerbeke most leak that much. That's not bad at all.

Not sure about burning... but I leave a bit under a quart each season in the sump. If it stops leaking then it's time to worry.

Watched the movie Captain Ron and always loved the line "A diesel loves it's oil like a sailor loves his rum."
