That is oil and happens now and then. Seems low RPMs in first or second gear trigger it more than higher RPMs. I am not losing any coolant and nothing in the oil. It goes away then comes back. More so on right turns.

I think its the seal on the turbo.

Did you try venting the crankcase from the dipstick? CC system can easily push oil past the turbo oil control ring at idle if there is a restriction.

Even if it is the turbo, the drain tube sizing can be a problem, and the breather system.

My breather is a full 1" into a ProVent. Keep in mind that was idling. Even when my rings were cracked it didnt do this.

Don't buy a cheap rebuild kit. Kamak Dynamic / Kinugawa is usually OK

The first thing to check is end play on the turbo. If you have excessive float that would indicate the thrust bearing is also toast, and that can cause the oil control ring seat to wear, which will never seal no matter how many times you replace it. That is exactly what happened with my 20g.
