First of all... welcome to the forums!
Second of all... I'm not even going to attempt to read your message because it's all uppercase and one big run on sentence. I'm not being an ass about it but it hurts my eyes!

Okay welcome to the forums, and yes PLEASE turn off the caps lock. ;-)

Okay, oil problem. First RUN A COMPRESSION TEST. See where you stand as far as the compression in all four cylenders, this will help you start finding the problem.
Here's a walkthru on doing a compression test on the 420A. Good luck and post the results here so we can figure out the problem.

I THINK YOU HAVE A CRACKED PISTON THAT IS ALLOWING BOOST TO COME INTO YOUR CRANKCASE WHICH IS PRESSURIZING IT AND BLOWING ALL YER SHIT OUT. I THINK CAPS LOCK IS REALLY ANNOYING AND I'M REALLY NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE BUT I LIKE MESSING WITH THE NEWBIES SOMETIMES.
Hheh .. Anyway.
Do a compression test, because i am willing to be you are going to be low on one cylinder. You have all the sympotoms of a pressurized crankcase, which is usually caused by a cracked ringland. Does it sound off at idle, like it has a slight miss? Does it smoke when you get on it?

Add another blown 420a to the list. Looks like many people are blowing their engines. I guess its about right though becuase many people have had their turbos on for a year or more and after that somwthing usually gives.
