I recently added an oil catch can from http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...lcatchcan.html
I checked it after only 320 miles and there was at least 1-2 teaspoons of oil already in the catch can.
My car tends to use 1 qt per 2500 miles, so, this is obviously not all of the oil being consumed, but at least its a start.
I had my car compression checked and everything is perfect, yet when I replaced the plugs there was a good bit of gray carbon build up on the electrode. It was even on all six plugs.
So, long story short, there is no apparent issue with my car and it has religiously used 1 qt every 2500 miles since it had 35000 miles on the odometer. I just wonder if the blow by is worse when you have intake, spacer, headers, exhaust etc.

I installed the same catch can last week, I'll check it's contents when I do an oil change/brakes next week. Wasn't too difficult to install except the damn bolt that also holds the powersteering can....fine threads and 1 1/2" long along with my extra large hands....
