MY94 uk turbo, 72,000 miles, running 1 bar boost.
Past couple of weeks, keep having to top the oil up, its using about 1 litre per 1000 miles, not really going above 6k rpm.
Can't see any leaking from anywhere, blows a bit of white smoke out of exhaust when revving on driveway but dont notice any when travelling.
Took intercooler off & washed out (drying it now with hairdryer) cause there was a bit of oil in there too.
Does it sound like my seals are gone/on there way out, im sure it shouldnt use this much oil.
Any recommendations, seal kit (can it be done??), recon turbo, new turbo, hybrid??
All suggestions & thoughts please.

You could pull the inlet hose off and check for excessive play in the shaft...
