Default Dipstick reading!?

Hi folks, recently picked up my new impreza, have driven it 4 times since i've had it, haven't given her any beans yet as still getting used to driving the car!

I've just checked the oil 30 mins after driving it and the dipstick isn't even registering any oil!!? i've got no warning lights coming up, oil temp gauge normally sits between 70-80 and there's no smoke of any sort coming from the exhaust apart from an occasional dark grey/black puff when changing gear at about 5-5500 rpm...

any ideas or is it possible the car is actually out of oil!? never owned an impreza before so don't know how much or how regularly the oil needs to be topped up

Any advice would be great or i'll just take it to a garage for a once over!

Cheers
