The oil can go past the seal on the exhaust side of the turbo directly into the exhaust. We have bad turbo seals on an 85 that smokes in the morning or after it idles for a while and then when you punch it, the oil that has accumulated gets blown right out the exhaust in a nice cloud. The oil path doesn't have to go through the intake and engine. I know the compression is OK because the car has a relatively new headgasket and top end check. The turbo gets rebuilt this weekend. Definately check compression before you pull engine.
