Default can a turbo blow/burn oil without actually having blown seals or shaft play?

any thoughts? for instance you have a perfectly healthy turbo, but there is too much pressure or volume in the oil feed/return system that it somehow works its ways past the seals? or the ring i should say. i ask because i just recently got my turbo inspected and new seals put in and 2 months later its blowing into the compressor wheel and inlet. i'm using -3AN feedline and -10AN return line done correctly. very little shaft play, but still good according to the guys at turbo technology.

Your crankcase pressure can cause oil to back up the drainline and out the turbo... there is a discussion on PCV systems for turbo cars here..

maybe its coincidence but ever since i installed an exhaust slash cut evac set up on my car... This annoying oil leak i had from the head gasket has stopped. Ive got a slashcut in my exhaust to oil separator, and one from my valve cover to dump tube.
