Couple weeks ago had little puffs of smoke at startup, and found oil in IC piping when pulling that out, but I agree, I don't initially see how that ends up in the coolant system through the turbo.
Since I haven't been watching the coolant closely, I'm planning a flush-n-fill this weekend, and will watch for how fast things change. (IE how fast new oil accumulates - has this taken a year to get amount of transfer I'm now seeing, etc)
Engine temp seems fine while driving, anything else I should be looking for either while driving or inspecting to watch for headgasket failure?
I've learned and tried a decent amount of work on cars, but headgasket is beyond my level (for both time and experience), so I'm looking at a hefty repair if it goes.
