Oil can get into the compustion chamber....

It may blow-by the piston rings, the valve seals, etc. The oil is then burned in the combustion chamber along with the gasoline. A small leakage will not be noticable in the exhaust gases, but may be noted on the dipstick oil level.
My Saabs have never suffered from burning oil, at least until they got over the 150,000-mile mark but that is expected.
