210 K tuneup (10k late) revealed air filter completely soaked with oil. Some turbo blow by, but filter contaminated by valve cover breather which terminates in middle of air filter. Car ran fine even with clogged AF but runs noticably stronger with new AF. Oil loss (1/2 qt in last 3k mi) was great enough to completely soak AF and spill out of AF cannister and pool everywhere on left side of eng. compt. This has never happened before. Eng. in exc. cond. Treated well, not abused... Bad rings NOT suspected (spark plugs perfectly normal and car is faster than most 16 v turbos) so why is oil getting past valve cover trap? Any thoughts however unlikely are greatly appreciated. Thanks
