Just keep an eye on the oil gauge and check the oil level frequently until you get a feel for how the car does.
When I first got my car it had a pretty bad oil leak, and I had to add a quart every month or so. It had been sitting idle for most of the last 4 years. As I've driven it, the seals have sealed back up and it doesn't drip anything any more. If I go on a long drive (500 miles) I usually have to add some oil when I get back, but there's no smoke and it passes emissions so I don't worry about it. One day it won't and I'll have to refresh the valve seals. Till then I just enjoy driving it.
