Smoking and oil loss
I need help. My 93 fd started smoking last fall and eating tons of oil to the point you could see it coming out the tail pipe., so i put it away for the winter removed the turbos and replaced them. I just put them on today and started it back up. The car kept smoking away(thought it might be buring off the old oil). I took it for a quick 2km run and when i got back and checked the oil it was down a liter already, there was some oil dripping out the exhaust pipe again. There is also a little oil in the throtle body but not before the throtle body.
Is there any other thing I should be checking. I guess the rebuilt turbo could be bad, but i sure hope not. hopefully someone can give me some suggestions as i don't want to rip everything apart again especially if for no reason.

i have a straight through pipe just put on, and , the car did run fine and it sounded and responded normally, its just when i looked through the mirror it looked like i was throwing smoke grenades out my car, and the oil level was down at least a liter. I did just replace my oil coolers so maybe it was just filling in those gaps but so far I have dumped 6 liters into the car, and that doesn't sound right as oil was dripping out my tail pipe after the 2km run. anymore advice would great.

seems like a turbo oil seal, though if it's losing that much oil you would probably have more oil in you boost pipes.
you could also check you OMP lines to make sure they arent cracked, though if it was losing that much oil you would probably have a mess under your car. It also wouldnt come out of the exhaust pipe but could hit it and be burned off

I did find oil in the cool side of the primary turbo. I concluded that it came in from one of the vacum lines that conects the oil filler neck. Is there any kind of test i can do to figure out if its turbo, or engine related? What kinds of test can I do to see if its a oil seal in the engine, but if it was it probably wouldn't run as good as it does.
