Default A4 going through the oil

Hi guys, need some help. First, I know that Audi's like oil, this is my third A4. Currently I own a 2009 A4 2.0T with 57K. Lately I've noticed the car is really starting to go through the oil. Most of my driving is local and low speeds. The reason I put that in there is I just did a 500 mile trip at a nice clip and didn't notice any oil drop to or from my destination. I've checked for a leak and also the smell of oil burning from the tailpipe. I didn't find anything. What could be the issue? I've heard perhaps bad rings or the "oil separator PCV valve assembly." Since its out of warranty I thought I would try here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Head gasket? Can you see where there might be oil build up on the engine?

2.0t's have oil consumption issues-check all the threads on here about it.
