    Thanks all.  I took a look today and the oil is down about 1/6 of a
liter on the dip stick.  I topped it up and I will watch it closely over the
next week.  I did find oil up at the idle switch and throttle body.  I can't
imagine that oil coming from the valve cover gasket, too far away.  It look
to be seeping from the throttle body gasket.  I might yank the hose from the
IC to the throttle body and look for oil.  Also maybe the hose that goes
from the turbo to the IC, if I can get to it.  The car makes a little cloud
at each cold startup.  Today it caught a rock in one of the rear splash
guards, what a horrible noise!

Thanks,
