The head is a reconditioned #22. Installed a year ago with a new head gasket.

What I did is just look at the gasket and mating surface between the head and the block to see if the gasket had pushed out. Also looked down the air pipe towards the turbocompressor. Saw very little oil, just a little soot from the EGR.

I read one thread that suggested a turbo oil seal failure could cause this.
Seems plausible but unlikely because in the past I looked through the oil cap port on the valve cover and never saw the mist inside the crankcase the way I do now.

Thanks sixto, I think your right. I am gonna do a compression test and leakdown test next.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
