OM617 Oil Weeps & Seeps
Underneath the air cleaner and turbo are both oil return to sump and oil mist venting pipes that have various O-Rings and grommets, so on and so forth .
Once I replaced all of that on my Coupe the oil usage dropped to almost nil even though the engine blows a bit of blue (oil) smoke .
I'd begin there, the lower oil return pipe is a very common culprit .
