It has to go somewhere... if it's not coming out in the exhaust or going into a catch can, then the only thing I can think of is fuel getting into it and making it go all thin. Then when it leaks (into the cylinder or out through the vent) it's so thin that you don't notice it as oil. - It's a bit of a long shot.

Like I said; all that oil has to be going somewhere, and if it's not in the sump it must have escaped... so it's just a matter of finding how.

pull the dipstick out and check the viscosity of the oil smell or taste the oil this should give u some sort of clue to whether there is fuel in there. also hows the water level?

exhaust manifold? if so you need to check the turbo oil feed and return pipes are tight.
