I'll take a look at the intake, but I know the turbo has that huge elbow on it, may not be able to see anything? Also if there was oil in it, wouldn't you think it would be a bad turbo seal - rather then the piston rings?

I will try to do a compression test - that should let me know about the rings.

I know the oil return line is good, the oil feed line - I will have to take off the heat shield to look at.

Take the turbo appart...lol, that is my last resort.

I'll work on this during the weekend, and let you guys know what happens, thanks for the great ideas.
