well i've been bosted for a few weeks now and finally ran into some problems, just recently my oil light started to blink so i stopped the car and checked the oil...it was lowww and dripping down to my axels and transmission side. my oil dipstick is somewhat trashed due to the heat inside my car it fried the rubber garnish so its really just sitting there.
so then i went to the store picked up a couple quarts of oil...poured it in and it was fine. then i cleaned the entire area it was leaking from with brake cleaner and during that time i was driving my car normal. it seemed to not leak anymore.

just today i rode it hard on the high way , right when i exited the oil light starts to blink..so i hurried up and found a place to stop my car..looked under the car and it wasn't leaking. had it towed home then checked the oil level and it was fine.

now theres a strange ticking noise coming from the head at around 2500-3000rpm
could this just be a timing problem now?

note
i am running untuned and rich right now (getting it tuned in a couple weeks)
the turbo inlet has very very little oil everytime i pull out the filter

im trying to find out where all the oil goes to when the engine is running if anybody can help me out.

thanks in advance

sounds like a broken pump gear.
