[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 101538, member: 2510"] If it's not leaking, it has to be burning the oil, which would either be because of oil control rings being carboned up or bad valve stem seals. It could also be ingesting it through a bad seal on the turbo, that would be easy to check as the intake piping from the turbo to the intake would be oily. The other two are a bit harder to check without tearing the engine down. Probably the easiest to check would be the valve seals, they can be examined by removing the cover. If they are brittle and cracked they might be able to be replaced without pulling the head, some engines can be done with the right tools and equipment. There is no easy way to tell if it's piston rings, it might be worth trying the Marvel oil and Seafoam in the oil to see if they will free up, that won't hurt anything. Hopefully someone will be along with some better suggestions that has dealt with this before, 930 smoh is pretty low time to be having issues like this. [/QUOTE]
