FWIW - the dealers are notorious for not being of any help. The head gasket was leaking on my 2013 BRZ with 29k miles... to the amount of a quart every 1k miles.
THREE TRIPS to the dealer with oil spraying the inside of my engine bay and they said "We can't find the oil leak".
MY final trip I had placed a paper towel right over the leaking head gasket and showed the service advisor. ONE WEEK LATER, they called to say "we can't find the leak." When I went to pick up the car... the same oil soaked paper towel was in the same spot I had left it on the engine!
I sold the BRZ back to the dealership through their used car sales dept. They asked if anything was wrong with the car. I said, "according to your mechanics, nothing is wrong with the car." They bought it on the spot.
I am now driving a 2015 BMW 435i.
If you are losing oil to the amount of about 1 quart every 1k miles, check the topside head gasket under the intake runners. You can/will see oil pooling on top.
