wow thats a relief and a half. and i already replaced half those seals. As far as i know the car isnt leaking anymore oil at all so i should be good there.

Now i gotta say im still curious as to why im still burning oil, AND my pcv is being a little bitch. Put it this way, i have a catch can, and even though its not full, its still some how returning the milky colored oil. I was thinking its a possibility the oil in the pipes and the intercooler were getting drawn up into the intake by the pressure the turbo is creating, and burning through the engine. Also would a miss cause me to burn oil? Like i mentioned, im lossing ALOT of oil pretty quickly. Either through it burning on the exhaust manifold like you mentioned or burning through my exhaust. I mean thats alot of oil to lose that fast. And at 6 bucks a QT. It isnt cheap to keep this car running. I mine as well swipe my credit card across the dashboard everytime i start it LOL. Oil can be seen the most when i let off the gas abrubtly. Iv been staying away from high Rpms. but if im at 3k and i let off the gas while still in gear and coast down speed, thats when you can see it most from the back of the car. Like ALOT. higher r's it come out pretty good too but not like when i let off the gas. That right there would tell me rings, cause when you let off the gas, ur -30 psi or more in the combustions chamber and it sucks oil right past the rings if there bad, and burns it like im seeing.
