aside from the engine compartment smoke, Did you have any burnt oil on outside of engine/underneath or oil puddles?
Or smoke coming out tailpipe?
I still do not have any oil puddles under the car in the garage. I can now see some oil on the undercarriage plastic towards the back of the compartment (below the exhaust heat shield). I think most of the oil is getting evaporated/burnt off in the engine compartment while the car is running because the smell is damn awful when driving. I don't notice anything too different with the exhaust out the tailpipe.
The Mazda dealer that I bought/service the car from sells about 50-60 CX5's a month (pre-COVID while they still had cars to sell) and I am the first CX5 (first 2.5L N/A SKYACTIV G for that matter) with an oil leak at the dealership. Based on this rudimentary analysis, I would say it's not a widespread issue across the 2.5L N/A motors w/ CD.
