@kosteniuks17 - I'm running the factory fill oil right now. Planning on switching to mobile 1 full synthetic next change.
Definitely appreciate everyones insight on this issue. I am curious if anyone who has seen this has had their car checked out to see what exactly the issue is. Im trying to avoid going back to the dealer as its over an hour away.

An easy test is to start the car while the engine is cold, and spray soapy water from a spray bottle at the suspect areas. Any bubbles signify a leak. I have a spray bottle with water and a bit of dish soap that I use for testing exhaust and intercooler leaks.
Intercoolers must be pressurized to test, btw...
