either the oil return line is blocked or kinked or bending upwards at some point, or you have insufficient crankcase ventilation. if you don't have some way of venting pressure from the crankcase, the oil pan will be pressurized and oil will shoot past the seals. good luck.

another reason may be the oil pressure is too high going to the turbo. this problem has been posted before where people have used the needle valve to lower the pressure. try it out.

could it be that the return line is running like at a straight line maybe a centimeter up hill but it ain't running down hill though
