I have a leak at the turbo return line which I've been suffering with ever since I got the car working. Hence why I fill it up at 2 gallons. By the time I am ready to do a change at 5,000 miles the oil reads at a little bit above the low oil line.
its funny that this post came up. i have the same issue about the turbo leak. i checked mine today and its just past the first indent on the dipstick by a 1/4 inch.
