Sick engine, too much work for an oil leak!!! 700 1987

OK,

This is sick! My clutch started slipping and I lost about 1L of Mobil 1 every 3 weeks so I decided to do the clutch, seals and gaskets and the list is phenomenal...front 3 seals, valve cover, distributor seals, rear crank, reak crank flange and oil pan...along with the clutch and timing belt.

SO after all this was done (plus cleaning my PCV condenser and replacing the flamre trap nipple) my car decided to make a new oil leak...OUT THE OIL CAP...and all over the turbo. Now I leak AND burn oil like my engine is on fire!!!

So, what the heck is wrong with my car...I am thinking (shudder) blowby but I have no clue really how to check that. What else could it POSSIBLY be and is it worth fixing it...grrrr...I have put about $6000 into my brick in since I bought it 7 mos ago and I am tired of new problems.

Also, anyone knwo a good, chap volvo mechanic in the Toronto area?

Thanks...Russ
