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.
When I first start the motor in the morning I get no smoking issues (Other than normal stuff from having DP's). But if I park the car for a short period like going to get groceries... after that when I start the car i will get a small of smoke as I roll up to a stop sign or red light. After that I get no smoke at all.
