All mine have been like that too I just put it down to the fact that they have a stupid dumbass sideways engine..
Best bet is to check it when the engine is nice and hot and still running

warm the car up. Park it on level ground. Leave it for about 15mins and then check it. Do NOT under any circumstances check it when the engine is running as the majority of the oil will be getting pumped round the engine hence the sump will be more or less empty.
