it does seem like an excessive amount of oil used up between oil changes don't know about the PVC valve, any smoke coming from the exhaust at startup or while the engine is running

well....toyota would call this a normal amount, and 1 qt would not be too bad, so it has gotten a little worse. just keep a good eye on it, and keep watching, i'd bet there is a small leak you havent found yet.
