But I can't imagine that a fair amount of oil being sucked into the combustion chamber wouldn't cause issues with spark / ignition of gas. My guess (hope) is that once I replace the AOS and burn off any residual oil that everything will return to normal.
Looking back at my symptoms it makes sense. The car ran well enough if i stayed off the throttle. In staying off the throttle I was likely keeping pressure lower so less oil was making it through the broken diaphragm in the AOS. I was also not pulling nearly as much air and with much less force through the intake which would take the oil with it.

Good points. I still think with your low mileage that the issue is relatively simple.
yes I consider AOS failure relatively simple
There were a few simple issues with my 2000S with 47000 miles when I Bought it last year.
Coolant tank leaking, Motor mount shot, real sloppy shifter, leaking CV boots.
I fixed all of them, the car has been golden every since
Hopefully when yours is sorted it will be golden as well.
