A bad valve cover gasket will leak oil externally, not into the intake or engine. Bad rings or an aging oil seal in the turbo are what you're looking at. I'll add that it is normal for some oil to seep past both the rings and turbo oil seal (even on a new engine) whether you've got a problem or not is a matter of how much and how fast...
