Regarding your car losing oil; you either have a leak or your car is consuming it.

I would suggest removing the under tray, power wash the bottom of the engine bay, drive around for a little bit, then check to see if you have leaks.

If you're FBO, with a catless downpipe, and consuming oil I would think you would be seeing some smoke coming out the back.

In my case I had both - oil pan leaks plus bad turbo seals dumping oil into the chamber.

If your front main seal is not compromised I wouldn't replace it.

I am losing about 1/4 qt of oil every 1000 driven miles.
