Yes engine rebuild is on the very long list, it crazy but the engine always starts first time and pulls really well,
That's not surprising, judging by all that wholesome meaty goodness that it's been ingesting.
As said above, main suspects are the breather and the turbo bearing's seals. It's worth giving your intercooler a good clean out too, with petrol or paraffin to dissolve some of the muck.

There was a lot of oil in the intercooler when I took it off.
How do you check for crankcase pressure?

take breather off the turbo inlet
start engine
look for smoke chuffing out of it.
check for blocked cyclone as well - where the breather exits the rocker
with engine started take off the oil filler cap and see if its chuffing out of there also.
My old 19j looked like it had a second exhaust coming out of the filler cap by the time i was finished with it and the chassis leg was barket with oil that had come through the breather and out the filter valve
