If there's oil coming out of your bov then could be turbo gone, what about cylinder 1?
Were you running much boost?

Hi,

Are the turbo pipes to the intercooler ok, not split or cracked?

Whats the water level like in the car?

Is the oil feed and oil drain on the turbo ok ?

Is the oil just outside or actually awash inside 2,3,& 4 cylinders?

Regards

Nigel

Check the intercooler pipework after the turbo, when my turbo went there was tarces of oil on the pipework and i only noticed about 1.5L of oil out of my engine.

Had you recently filled (over filled maybe) the engine oil?

It maybe your engine heavy breathing, forcing the oil through the induction system back into the engine, which would point to worn rings :?

It could be worth doing a compression check and see how it turns out.
