[s-cars] Crank Case Pressure and Turbo Smoke?

Gents,
	Well so far no luck here...still smoking and small seepage of
oil on the hot-side.

So far I have:
-1) Fixed small drip on Oil Return line in the hopes that the oil was
hitting the hot side turbine

-2) Replaced the Valve Cover PCV return line with an open air breather

-3) Placed on .04" Oil Restrictor on the high pressure oil feed

But oil still seems to be coming out between the center section and hot
side:

Ola over at ITS states "....most likely it is leaking due to oil level
inside the bearing housing is able to reach the area of the piston ring
seal, this "seal" which is not there to keep oil in, but to keep
pressure from the exhaust out, cannot stop the oil from flowing past
it."


My next thing to try is to shorten the Oil Return hose so that it has a
downward sloping angle all the way and doesn't flatten out at all:

If that doesn't work I either have:
-1) Bad PCV Valve (Any write-ups here on changing that?)
-2) Bad Turbine oil seal
-3) Thicker oil? Running M1 10W-30


Any other thoughts?

Thx Guys 

Cody
