Default Using Oil

My 84 mustang is tight and runs well. However, last week I began smelling oil and using oil very quickly. On top of the rocker arm cover is a cannister, I believe it is called a separter. On the discharge of this is a hose that connect to the intake of the turbo. I removed the turbo intercooler and it has oil between the intercooler and the intake to the manifold. Oil is leaking out everywhere and burning out the exhaust. I bought a used separtor and installed it, but it is still just as bad. How can you determine if the oil separator is bad? ALso could there be another problem?

Default RE: Using Oil

Maybe your one of your turbo seals is leaking and oil is getting into the intake tubing?
