As a followup to this post, tech said the stock AOS was bad and we replaced it with the Motorsport AOS. Over 1,000 miles with the Motorsport AOS and no oil loss.

I'm surprised that no one has pointed out that some engines don't have accurate electronic measuring sensors. Some read a little low, so when you fill to full, you are actually overfilling it.
There were some on P-9 and the Cayman Register that learned once the oil settled at a certain bar below full, it stayed there with no further consumption.
I also noticed that in your pic the car is parked on an incline. There was a guy on P-9 that always burned oil until he changed his parking positionn at home and work. A flat 6 is much more susceptible to oil seeping past the pistons rings when parked on an incline. Try backing in the driveway instead of pulling in forward and see if the problem goes away.
