Quit driving it like this so you don't hurt something. Pull the oil return off and make sure it's fine. Is it smoking out the exhaust at all?

Not to mention it's on an FMU/stock injectors so it shouldn't be smoking at all (at idle at least).

sounds like it might be your turbo seals. You can't tune a FMU, what are you getting for management?

Ok my machincs think its my PCV because we fully tightend the damn return line thing from the turbo and it still leaks but not as much. He said my crankcase was pressurized therefor it wontlet the oil drain down!

Can anyone tell me if this is what is happening?

thanx

If it had anything to do with the pcv, get the endyn breather kit and eliminate the stock pcv system period.
