If your seals were letting go you would know it by the amount of smoke coming out. Any oil under the car?

my buddy had an issue with his vette drinking oil, he blamed it on his upgraded oil pump........claimed it just sucked it right out of the pan

possibly letting a little to much oil go into the turbo. its probably going out the exhaust in small amounts not really noticable because no smoke. with a hv oil pump you need to jet down the turbo oil fed line.

should have about 5 oz at idle for 30 seconds. before mine was jetted down i was running 9.5 oz at idle. which is the max you want going through the turbo at full throttle.
