If the symptoms are as described........with a noticeable delay in oil consumption at idle........and if the oil consumption is also present at all other engine speeds, then the turbo seals are the only possible culprit.

But, your description of the problem and your observations are sketchy, at best, so I won't be held accountable for the conclusion.
