Certainly sounds like a leaky oil cap gasket. Has happened to me a number of times on my Volvos. Regular maintenance item.

Spook is correct. Turbos do not have flame traps. If replacing the oil cap gasket doesn’t solve your oil leak issue then do the positive crankcase pressure test that Amarin suggested to determine if the PCV system is clogged somewhere. Could be the breather box hose (to breather/PCV box on engine block) is clogged. That hose clogged a few times on me.
