2018 CX-5 Oil Burning Smell and Vapor from Engine

:
2018 CX 5 Touring AWD
I have noticed an oil burning smell in the engine bay. I noticed slight seepage around the timing chain cover and cleaned it off. Checked the back of the cylinder head and it is dry, does not appear to be cracked. I did not find any significant leaks. I removed the oil filler cap on the hot engine and there is oil vapor coming out. No CEL. I am down about a third of a quart in 2300 miles. 60k miles on engine, doing a bunch of short drives lately. I put an extra half quart of oil in this oil change by mistake, I drained the excess down to full after 800 miles. First time using Kirkland oil.

I can smell fuel in the oil. Not really a new issue.

Any thoughts, PCV? Switch to 5w-30?

My 6 had seepage from the valve cover gasket that was making that smell also. Could be that or the timing chain cover
