Sometimes they are not simple and it is easy to miss the interactions present without way more gauges and knowledge of the physics theories involved.

Fair enough, but my point is that unlike a typical gasser, which uses vacuum to get the air/fuel charge into the cylinder, a turbo-charged engine is different. Common knowledge of gassers, which is what many of us start with, would tell us that worn valve guides will cause increased oil consumption. I'm arguing that such knowledge doesn't apply in this case. I had to "un-learn" many things in order to properly diagnose and repair the MB diesel engines I've owned.
