Every like 2 days the dipstick reads half full of oil. I fill it back up and then 2 days later the same thing. It is NOT blowing any blue smoke out the exhaust, though there are black spots around my rear bumper. Could this be oil? Spitting out my exhaust?

I have not done a compression test on the engine and will be doing one very soon.What could be the causes of this?

check inside your hot pipe, if your turbo is on its way out, it could be leaking oil under boost.

Well, I didn't check the piping yet, but I think there is some in there because when I took off my bov recirculation I felt some oil inside the tube.

But couldn't I be getting oil into the pipes anyway through the pcv or the T valve on the valve cover which is recirculated back into my intake?

Turbo spools great, had veryy minimal shaft play, and there is no blue smoke
