    The turbo will put air from the compressor housing into the oil drain galley, then into the crankcase it will over power the vent and cause it to blow out the oil. The first thing you want to have checked is the oil pan level, being over full will cost you a lot of power, and what it does is stack the oil in the gear case, restricting the airs, blow-by, ability to get to the venting area.
    Just a thought!
