Look, The oil in the turbo inlet is the final key for me. I had exactly that same problem when my rings were worn down and I had excessive blow-by. It pushes oil into everything. If the pistons are not cracked then the car will be ok for NA driving but it will consume oil. It will not be a "good" car when you sell it as I'm guessing everything is just tired and worn out for any performance stuff. For an everyday beater the engine may be fine for a while.
