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 .
