well i have this bad oil leak, but it only seems to happen when i boost, i looked under to see where it was comming from and it looked like it was coming from the front main seal. (crank pressuer)now i also noticed that pressure dosn't build up as quick as it should. could it be that i have bad rings and pressure is going threw my rings and into the crank case) i know its not the seal because i just recently changed it, can some one please help identify the problem,thanks

Run a compression test to check your piston rings.
Pull off your LICP and check for more than a light dusting of oil. If there's a bunch, your turbo is bad.
Run a boost leak test.
