Is my turbo oil seal blow?

[Boosted DSM 32]

Since Ive had my car it's always burned a little oil because someone put a big stainless oil feed line on the car and tapped it into the oil filter housing.. Bit the last few days I've burnt like a quart of oil a day granted I've been beating on it pretty hard this weekend but still that's way mor than it was doing? Could the steady flow of too much oil finally ruined the seal in the turbo and now it's blowing way to much through? There is no shaft play at all

That much oil is usually a large leak or bad rings/broken piston. In my case, it ended up being a broken piston.

My car without even smoking that bad could manage to eat a quart every 100 miles when the seals were bad, idk how it wasn't smoking the road out burning that much but it did. And the turbo was still not completely blown yet, minimal shaft play and the seals looked decent when I pulled it apart.

If your turbo is being fed without a restrictor from the OFH, then yes your turbo oil seal is blown. Especially since you have been beating on it and you could have been pushing 100+psi of oil pressure through it and the MAX it is supposed to see is 42-48psi IIRC.

I don't believe it's anything internally on the engine it only smokes during boost and if I drive easy it doesn't use any oil I just figured it using that much oil it would smoke like a son of a bitch but it really doesn't lol

My turbo seals just went out last month, it smoked out more than a snoop dogg concert and it didn't matter if I drove it hard or not, burned it at idle burned burned it in boost, I BELIEVE it started out tho only in boost.

The only thing im confused on is like how much worse can the turbo get? lol i mean it used a quart on saturday i mean ya i was running the car hard and stuff but still like i dont see how it could possibly blow much more out!

My car blows blue smoke when i rev it past 4500 rpm's but if i dont rev it up it doesn't blow smoke. Does anyone think its the turbo seals?

OH NO! My turbo is smoking and oil is coming out! | Facebook

Just some light reading as there's no way to "blow your seals" and not have excessive shaft play your issues lie elsewhere and needs to be properly addressed.

What do you think it could be?

Click the link I posted I discuss in detail what can cause oil to come out of the turbo while it not exhibiting excessive shaft play.
