Both the oil pressure switch and lower PCV drain hose will leak straight on the cat and smoke, too. Overpressure, as Dean suggests, will make little annoying leaks much worse.
What's the consumption like?
First step with leaks is check the PCV system and/or retorque the head bolts. If the crank vent upgrade was JUST done, the late 2003 version, get it undone, it can cause some weird oil problems.
There is an extended (out to 8 years) warranty on the engine-only due to sludge-only but it may pay to mention you know there is an 'extension' and see what their reaction is. They really can't deny it exists if you're talking to them with the press release up on Google. May or may not apply but it may get you escalated.
