However, a poor breather system could be causing excess pressure leading to oil blowing through the seals on the turbo.

1) That setup is not ideal in any way. The S13 head does have some baffling, but you are not relieving the crank case pressure and subsequent blowoff in any way (or you are not providing the system any motivation to get removed as all you have working on the system is atmospheris pressure). Oil vapours and pressure will find a way to escape whichever way it can.
2) Yes, there could very well be excessive crankcase pressue (which causes pressure buildup in various areas and and slowly manifest itself in blowing out the disstick for example).
Now, is all this your problem?? Probably, as I would not suspect the EFR to already start leaking oil thorugh it's seals. You may have a few other things going on, but I would first start with the properly setup breather system.
I thought you were told to tackle this over at NRR?? I do faintly remember you mentioning this and having a minor discussion about it
