on these engines so I don't think they're leaking. I'd check a few things first before jumping to conclusions. Things like a dirty air filter can cause oil to be sucked past the turbo seals especially if you're using a thin oil. Look inside the throttle body/intake passages for excessive oil. If you've followed the standard turbo warm-up and cool/spool down procedures then it's a good bet that your turbo is still in great shape (mine has 265,000 miles on it).
