Have you checked the breather hoses are looped into the air box? I think this raises them and makes it harder for the oil to seep into the intake.
I recently (10k miles ago) put a breather in place of the oil tank connection to the air intake, and it dramatically reduced the amount of oil in the intake... very noticeably smoother running and throttle response (my throttle body used to get coated in oil).
I also run my oil tank on the low side of the marks - I'm happy if the needle just moves off the bottom of the gauge.
My oil usage is about what you report, but then I have all these miles on the original rings and valve guides. I don't have any noticeable smoking though. If it didn't run so good I'd tear it down.
