My opinion is that the turbo seals gradually wear with age and allow seepage into the intake. Eventually it gets to be a problem.........one quart every 1K miles and the owner addresses it.
The '86 has been consuming a quart every 1500 miles or so since I purchased it. It's definitely turbo seals as the engine has minimal blowby. One of these days I'll pull the turbo and rebuild it. But, the oil consumption is not killing me..........
