Just recently did this happen. I dont know whats wrong. Oil keep comming out of the top vent on the valve cover. It seems like there is too much blowby or something. What could be causing this. I just replaced the pcv valve, and aired out the lines. I lost 2 quarts driving 3 hours on the highway. Has this happen to any of your turbo KA motors? any help would be appreciated.

I think a compression test and a leakdown would be in order.
