Check your intercooler.

pull off the intercooler and see how much oil comes out when you turn it upside down. you may have turbos that are blowing oil. how maney miles are you driving in a week? are you boosting high all the time?

I will do the i/c check... and i but on like 140 miles a week. And i dont have a boost gague but i do drive it harder. does the injection of oil vary with revs? or turbo output.

I would thoroughly clean the engine bay, esp the areas under the car near the oil filter. Check it in about a week. The most likely place is the turbo spewing oil into the y-pipe, intercooler, elbow, etc but don't overlook the other areas as well. Another place oil likes to go is the radiator, so check the overflow/coolant system as well
Good luck

Probably getting serious blow by through your turbos. The oil is being blown into the intake, and burned in the combustion chambers. Oil blow by through the turbos is a sign of failing turbos.

I took apart the I/C, and i found some oil in there not enough for a puddle or any signifiance. I will check the oil from the filter and random spots.

There will be oil in your filter especially if you have a K&N :)
