I am slap in the middle of taking the frame out of our 2014 silverado 4x4. That is a long story. Anyway hope to get the cab off today and by the end of next week have it running again. The. I will have some time to check out the camaro. I would bet my pcv is contributing but it is all hooked up.

Reason I asked, I bought a used 99 Firebird and I got it cheap cause he had the same symptoms you are having. He assumed it was the engine. Blue smoke 1 qt oil every 900 miles. I was gonna do an engine swap so I didn't care.
Did an oil change and when I pulled the air boot to clean the throttle body I pulled a bunch of oil out of it. The throttle body was caked with oil residue. So I pulled the intake and tipped it up for a few hours and got almost a half quart out of it.
Cleaned the intake out, changed the cracked PCV hoses, changed the oil and I never had an issue after that. Held oil till 3000 miles, no smoke and oil consumption issues. I ended up selling the car cause it ran good and a huge profit never hurt anyone.
