The turbo will be easier to evaluate when you have the head off to do the gasket and possibly replace the (cracked?) head. Bummer.
- worried you might be onto something there. The head was replaced not too long ago - could be reblown?

Im going to pull the whole thing apart this weekend - see if I can get some answers about whats leaking in there. Ill take off the crossover tube, and see what I get.

Did an oil change with full 8 quarts about 2 weeks ago - driven maybe 1k miles, and getting low oil level already. Getting white smoke at idle (can see at night) - *seems to go away as reach speed...but cant tell.
