After a head gasket repair?

After a head gasket repair on Vauxhall Astra why does the engine management light stay on and why is it using oil?

if you cant see any leaks,must be using it internally,could be warped/cracked head,valve stem seals,rings,if engine management light is on get a code reader onto it for a look at faults stored
