There was an indicator to add a qt of oil 3k miles ago and so I did. Now, I get the same prompt. The car has close to 80k miles on it and I suspect the turbos may be going out.

Can failing turbos cause excessive oil consumption or is there a leak I should be worried about ?

I am wondering to. My turbos smoke and my oil consumption based on the E gauge seems to be less than before I had smoking issues.... I don't understand. This damn oil gauge scares me.

when you say the 'My turbos smoke' where do you see the smoke coming from ?

The reason I suspect my turbos was because the dealership suggested that the howling noise coming from the turbo indicates that its on its way out.

Usually happens when I come to a stop from exhaust. Last 3 days it was doing oil smoke always but now it's back to stops.

Also on my Stage2+ tune when I floor it I do get a whining supercharger noise comapred to non tuned so I also thinks my turbskies are worned out.
