I believe what you could be experiencing is sticking piston rings. The reason I say this is because you only have 34k miles on your engine, so I think it's safe to say that your engine has been sitting around for a while. That and I'm not sure but I willing to bet you haven't changed your oil enough in the past either because you or previous owner thought it only has X amount of miles so it doesn't need to be changed. It needs to be changed at least yearly. I also don't think that there is anything wrong with your pcv stuff under the intake allowing more oil to accumulate in catch can, if anything I could see it being gunked up allowing less oil to get by it. So that only leaves one thing, your piston rings. There are a few successful people out there that have used a mechanic in a bottle to unstick rings but most are not successful in their attempts. A general compression test will tell you weather or not that is your problem. Sorry sir I'm sure this is not what your wanting to hear. You can google "low mileage engines with stuck rings" and read about it if you want.
