Actually you're not the first one who has blowby but apparently good compression. From what I've read leaking valve seals can cause blowby too, but wouldn't that reduce compression as well?
NO valve seals will not effect blow-by. Blow by is due to lack of sealing between the cylinder on compression stroke and the valves would be CLOSED, so valve seals wouldn't effect it.
I don't think blow-by is a good criteria- I've seen great engines compression reliable cars with blow-by. For a gaser- it's a better measurement.
Why mess with oil consumption @ a quart/2000 miles? MB spec for repair is 600 miles per quart.
