I vote for the turbo. There's a lot of vacuum under idle. Oil gets pulled past the worn shaft oil seals. Classic case. Rings blow oil pretty much all the time. Valve guides blow oil on startup (oil dripping onto piston top, especially overnight) and when the throttle snaps closed after shifts. Take a look at your PCV system too.
