I wanted to suggest either gaskets or oil cooler, but as you have both OK, then I have no idea.
How did you achieve that whp though? Any other mods you got?

Yeah I have people I know with 09-10 Z's who burn little if any oil, thinking I just got unlucky. THe car has been burning oil since I bought it at 96k miles. I got it from a dealer, so the only thing I worry about is if the previous owners noticed this oil burning and actually topped it off consistently
Its basically FBO on 93, so
ISR Longtube Headers
RZG 3in Intakes
Ported Upper and Lower Intakes (done by local fabricator)
Custom xpipe Exhaust (2 3/8 tubing)
Got tuned by Martin aka Rs-Enthalpy at z-fever. Apparenty from the conditions that day he was only expecting me to make 310-320whp
If anything, my friend gave me his Fast Intentions TDX 2.5in exhaust recently, so if I ever get bored with the power I can install that to free up some HP
Dont seem to be leaking anything from the oil cooler fittings or lines either. The only thing I can imagine might leaking is the rear main seal, but I haven't seen residue leaking on the ground near the transmission bellhousing
I also currently have a PCV delete that only vents to atmosphere. My next steps will probably be:
Installing baffled oil catch can and monitoring the amount of oil in the reservoir
Doing a compression test on all the cylinders
