It helps us if you provide a bit more detail. In particular, the versions of TeXShop and the OS.

The log file should reflect what you see in the console window. There have been some changes in Sierra that affect some logging functions, but I have not used the new OS so I can't say for sure whether this is change is limited to system logging.
On systems up through 10.11, I do not see what you are seeing though.
The log file is usually in the same directory as the .tex file. For example, if that is /path/to/foo.tex, the log file will be /path/to/foo.log.
