finding oil in strange places... iz it bad?

82 B21FT

Okay, I pulled of the turbo up pipe that goes from the turbo to the throttle body on the intake manifold... There's oil resedue in the tube itself and looks like oil in the throttle body itself (looks kinda burned onto the sides of the throttle body and when opening the throttle, there's a little oil burned in the bottom of the manifold and possibly a little oil resedue not burned")... Also, after removing the intake hose running from the air box to the turbo, found oil sitting bottom where hose meets turbo.. I've been dealing with oil loss and am trying to figure it out... so far I've checked the breather box and it doesn't seem to be clogged.. However, I do notice oil resedue in the hoses leading from the breather box to the air intake hose and it's enough to leave oil on my finger when i reach in there and rub my finger around... Also, I'm seeing spots of oil under car after driving it.. Car is runnin okay, just seems to be going through oil fairly quickly... The antifreeze looks good, no oil there.. Can't see any leaks at this point when looking underneath and around the engine.. Any suggestions? Should I start thinking about possible rebuild here??

Thx
Svender
