Default T3 .42a/r oil restrictor needed? no shaft play

my turbo ls just started burning oil and blowing blue smoke past 5.5k rpms. oil is in the downpipe and in the intercooler piping, but i checked the turbo and theres not one bit of shaft play. I read that since it just started happening, oil can be getting past the seals and not blowing the seals YET. should i get an oil restrictor to help slow down the feed? also, I kinda ghetto rigged the oil return awhile ago with clamps and braided line. the oil pan wasnt even tapped, just welded a pipe-like thing to it...

any help appreciated, first time having this problem.

ps-compression check and leakdown check are good.
