Thanks I appriciate your concern and trying to help me. Well still no luck. I uncapped my oil fill and to see if it was a bad PVC valve, but I still have smoke coming out and oil leaking from where the turbos bolt to the manifold. If I did have a bad PCV and I am just burning off the oil that leaked in before, how long should I have to fun my car for it to burn completely off?

I have ran it now off and on for a total of about 5 minutes. The smoke has not decreased any and more and more oil continues to drip from the turbos. I would really appreciate anyones advice. So far nothings working, or seems to be working. From what I can gather people with a bad PCV weren't consuming very much oil, like I was (4-5 quarts in about two months. Someone on here has to have had the same problem as me. Doesn't anyone know how to fix it?

Sounds like your oil lines need to be tighten. Is the drip/leak starting from the top or the bottom oil lines??
