A quart of oil and 10 NM later the "effect" seems to be gone, although I

Interesting. Does it leak at rest or only when under load? What I am
getting at is does the rising engine heat cause a gasket somewhere to
fail, or is it the rising oil pressure that forces oil past a hole or
gasket or crack or something that "closes" or reseats itself when the
motor cools down?

I'm glad you are getting closer to the ultimate problem, which isn't
fuel, it seems. Believe it or not, that's a good thing G
