Tonight I looked at the turbo and I could spin it freely, but it would only do maybe one rotation when I spun it and let go. Also, as I was spinning the shaft once every 10 or so seconds it would bind ever so slightly and I would have to grab a rotor to get it going again. I don't know if this is normal or not. I could not feel any play in/out or side to side.

My intake manifold was dipped and completely cleaned at ~270K miles. Though there is no crusted soot inside, but it is very oily. There is a good amount of oil from where the crankcase tube vents into the turbo inlet to the turbo as well.

I checked the underside of my car very well tonight and I can't detect and serious oil loss. My oil light came on again today while idiling for about a half hour, but when I checked the oil, it was still over 1/2 full on the dipstick, and I added 1qt 600 miles ago. It also came on intermittantly on the drive home. Maybe my sensor is on it's way out.

I also replaced my passenger side motor mount tonight, but in the process of all this made a hariline crack in the nipple of my coolant overflow tank and broke the crankcase vent tube connection on the valve cover.

I have added 2qts of oil in 2800 miles, and it is about 1/8" below on the dipstick right now when I filled it originally.
