I have installed something called Pi-hole on a raspberry pi as a DNS adblocker for my house internet. Ads be gone! It won't be everone's cup of tea but it isn't that hard. Drive SWMBO crazy because it blocks all Google re-directs if she gets sponsored ads, I could change it but I'm mean. hahahahaha
Anyway, had a look at engine in daylight. Started engine and could see no leaks. Oil in engine as I topped up and checked normal on dipstick. Took the oil breather cap off and oil was literally chucked out Of it. If oil was getting past the cap under load that might explain why the exhaust manifold is covered in an oily mist as is the top of the engine. Why would oil be chucked out like that when engine idling?
There is supposed to be a negative pressure in the crank case, the turbo sucks fumes out via the breather in the cam cover. You say it is a 97 with EGR.1997 do not have EGR. You will have to describe the breather. Is it just a pipe out of the cam cover to the turbo inlet hose or is there a round plastic CDV in the hose?
