As to your last comment, ". . . look at the underside of the car!". If you will look the fifth to the last sentence I indicate that I did just that. So, with that clarified, I used 9 quarts as well as a new filter. Any thoughts?

I'm betting the clouds you see at start up are normal. My car had an RMS leak when I got it, but a quick glance underneath did not reveal it. If I were you, I'd find a way to get it on a lift and verify its completely dry. A qt in 85 miles is a lot of oil and I have my doubts that it's leaving via the exhaust.
