just got home and pulled the heat shield off from the turbo. all around the compressor side is wet with oil, seem to be coming fro the first coupler. didn't do compression check yet because now after I seen the oil on and around the turbo I'm thinkin maybe could be a seal in the turbo itself, because I know when a turbo seal goes alot of smoke is soon to follow. still dosen't explain the oil cap leaking soo bad

oil cap leak is the seal being old, dry and brittle. the little elbow connector at the inlet hose that is torn might give u a check engine light.

You likely have a clogged PCV and it went unnoticed for long enough that the positive crankcase pressure started to wreak havoc on some of your seals (i.e. turbo and oil cap)...

Clean the PCV, check crankcase pressure again as you did before, if it doesn't improve then your car is where mine is at! If you get crankcase vacuum instead of pressure, you just probably fixed the root problem. Run the car a little and see if the leaks stop, otherwise it is time to start picking up the pieces. Which may or may not be a difficult/expensive exercise.
