The '86 is similar. It's drinking about 1 quart every 1000 miles. At these levels, you won't see the oil coming up from the turbo, but, I'm confident that the turbo is the source. It's been getting steadily worse over the last 50K miles.

The symptoms don't sound like the typical 603.971 problem. The wet intake tract and wet turbo are the clues here.
