No, I'm assuming that there is a seal gone somewhere

oil is either running down from rocker cover ,inlet manifold , or if coming from within the exhaust manifold ,it would be smoking somewhat ,

That's what I thought it was going to be, I just didn't want to believe my self. What was wrong with your turbo?

I think its your turbo you can clearly see it comming out of the gasket not dripping on the manifold the turbine inside that spins should have no play there is a big o ring type seal in there if that leaks oil goes into the system .

Just took the exhaust manifold off and found a lot of oil in it. Just ran it up with it off and there was oil pouring out of the exhaust ports

Am I right that its the piston rings?

either rings/worn bores , if its just no 1 with oil coming out could be head gasket ,
