Default Oil consumption through heads

I read somewhere in the past that TFS heads were notorious for valve guide wear. Do worn guides and seals typically have a big impact on oil consumption? Leakdown test shows ring integrity is great. I have a separator in the PCV line, so that's covered. I'm running synthetic, but the degree of consumption hasn't really changed since I switched from 50W Valvaline.
