1) Im lucky
2) the 2012s have fewer issues
3) I'm thinking that you drive you car pretty hard to have the much blow-by
4) am I missing something here....?
Also, Love the setup. Just some advice if it matters. The SS hoses seem to be sitting on top of your intakes? Over time they will grind the steel down if you don't have something between them...lesson learned from my last set up.

How did you break the motor in? Or did you not and it was a test drive car a few others drove first? How often do you change your oil? How do you know you didn't lose any? Do you measure before and after a oil change? Every car will have blow by, just depends how much so you will lose some oil over a period of time.
Power and consumption are directly related to break in...
Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power. If you're doing good on oil than I bet the motor was done right. Hell maybe nissan broke it in right on the assembly line testing the motor to full power. I know one of the Japanese bikes (Suzuki?) does this!!
