Question 603.971 engine

Hi
Two weeks ago I noticed almost 1.5 qt per 1000 mi also my intake was very wet so much the crossover tube was leaking ! the motor would blow smoke when I would start it for the first minute ! I tried to run it and no oil came from the vent tube . I also ran it with the crossover pipe off and no oil came from the turbo, how ever the front of the turbo was wet with oil. I took off the the intake and saw # 1 & 2 with very heavy sluge on the runner tube. Tonight I took off the # 18 head to see if the head gasket would be the soulution, I seemed to be ok .the clock says 100,000 miles on the motor. what to look for next ? I am just about fed up ! This didnt happen with my 617.951 !!!!!!!!! Thank you J
