Oil saturating everything below:
even filler was leaking:
starting the teardown:

yeah, arkmage, i lost compression when the rings gave out. That's the aftermath. PCV valve held 5-10-15-20-30psi without a hitch when i put it on my air compressor.

yeah, pressurize crankcase looks like this:
blown rings, at about 5k Tom's car just sprayed oil everywhere...im sure if my breather line wasn't attached into the intake mine would look the same....so instead i flooded the chamber and the car stalled.

made a bit of progress, didnt want to pull the turbo, but it was in the way to pull the P/S pump.
only a bit left and i can lift it.
oh and major discovery, my stupid intercooler pipe off the turbo was horrible...see pic...i had it pushed into the 90° too far and I was adding a restriction....I wonder how much that factored into my power output, if any, I'm sure it wasn't positive.

Just another before and after, just took some time to pretty things up under the bay while I can.
Everything but the starter and alt. plugs are off, looking to find a load leveler before I pull.
