Message If so, is it under acceleration or deceleration(off boost)?

If it were valve seals you would notice more blue smoke from the tail pipes at cold starts. I have a hard time believing you would've lost over a quart of oil in a few miles without either a major oil leak, or an insane amount of blue smoke.

Many people have bypassed the PCV system, myself included. I just deleted the pcv valves, but retained the valve cover/turbo inlet hoses, and yes oil still gets in my pipes(catch can in the works), and yes over a couple thousand miles the oil level has dropped a bit, but nothing in the amount that you're claiming.

I would put the car up in the air and have a look underneath. If your valve covers haven't been resealed before, chances are they are leaking, which will leak onto everything else...
