Unhappy Turbo 944 Oil in intake.

I have a 1987 944 turbo. I over the last few months I put in a new head gasket, rebuilt K26 turbo, all new sensors, Venturi delete kit, Lindsey Racing MAF, 3 In exhaust, new cap and rotor wires, fuel filter, manual boost controller, boost gauge , wide band air/fuel gauge, new TPS, oil cooler seals, Tial wastegate and Rims. The question i have is the car is burning all kinds of oil. I have blue smoke coming out of the exhaust only when i'm stopped. Seems to clear up when i'm driving. The car did not smoke at all before i did the work. I am not mixing coolant and oil so i think the head gasket is holding up. I am only running 10 Psi of boost.

I pulled off the hose running to the throttle body and oil came dripping out. Any idea of what i could have messed up?

Tell us about this rebuilt turbo? Sounds like oil getting past the turbo seals to me...

Got the turbo from Lindsey Racing, seems to be in great shape.

Also the oil only seems to be on the intake side of the intercooler not the side that the turbo is hooked to.

Good call on the turbo, i pulled it and oil is blowing past the seals on the hot side. Going to put my old one back in.
