grandland x 1.2 turbo oil usage

[missdudbuyer]

Purchased  a petrol grandland x 1.2 turbo 7 months ago from an independent garage. Was serviced at the time at 32000. Now at 39000. Oilcheck kept saying okay on turnover. Engine management light has been on off for 4 days. Today it went red. Check the oil and it was bone dry! I ve filled it up and will take it to the garage first thing (if it's still running!) 

Can anyone advise me on if its a fault with the car, as I'm seeing lots of you say... can Vauxhall foot the bill ( although I didn't buy direct from them) or can I return to the garage I bought from? I ve had it 7 months though? Please help...
