If everything in the exhaust path is clean i.e.:O2sensor, tailpipe, spark plugs What proof is there for out the exhaust?

Have you changed the brand oil that you are using?

My personal experience is that Mobil1 burns away faster than some others. Yes it is the recommended brand, however the spec has been updated. At the time of manufacture there was only one.

Little update. That was what I notice and replaced today. It is turbo oil drain line. Is that possible for that bend to reduce oil drain enough to damage the turbo?
