Watch the intake gasket with the engine running at about 2000 rpm and you will most likely see bubbles between the two halves of the intake gasket. I have changed intake gaskets several times and never could stop the 'bleeding' of oil in this area.

An oil separator keeps the oil mist from reaching the turbo and the bleeding stopped instantly...Robert
