Question Leak or what

In the original post it was described as a "leak". Is it truly a leak, or is the engine consuming oil. Does it pee and mark it's spot with oil, or is it billowing from the tail pipe? If the turbo seals are leaking, a rebuild would be in order. I am with engatwork, get a second opinion. If blow by is substantial, would it not create a "runaway" situation and just destroy itself? Keep us posted, a leak is a pita, but fixable. A total engine rebuild is costly even if you do it yourself.
