Just checked it, it's fine. When I talked to the guy at Turbo-direct, he said that the symptoms sound like a blown turbo is a highly possible cause.

After letting it cool off and the sun to drop down, I went out to the garage and took a closer look around. Looked for anywhere where oil is being sprayed onto something hot. I do not see any residue of such occurances. I went to double check the PCV, and realized that it is not there. Both valve cover lines are plumbed into a catch can which has a breather filter on top. This weekend is going to be a very extensive exploration of my car, checking everything and rewiring some of the crud under the dash. So while i have everything apart, i'll check the turbo for end/shaft play. I'm affraid to see how it is.
There are no leaks from any of the hoses or connections. Everything is clamped and threaded connections have teflon tape. It's begining to look more and more like the turbo.

I'm pretty sure you HAVE TO have the PCV in order for the car to run. Are you sure u are not mistaking the valve cover vent lines for the PCV line? The PCV line goes into the UIM right under where the TB entrance is.

Guess i overlooked it. That was hard to get a picture of. And it being dark didn't help either. My bad.

Good Point!

Checked it and emptied what few drops were in there. It's getting worst as the days go on.

Well then just to be safe, check compression while you are at it.
