Recently bought the car it has been running very rich, there's a definite burning fuel smell while driving, and every time the bov goes off after letting off the gas, smoke is expelled from under the hood. Now, the car has started leaking oil pretty badly, and it looks like its coming from the bov and other places. Whoever worked on the car before I bought it did some pretty sketchy looking work on the engine, so I'm gonna need a lot of help on various issues, and any is greatly appreciated!

Remove the intercooler from the turbo. Might be passing oil from the turbo seals.

Yeah oil out the bov sounds like blown turbo oil seals.
Make sure the engine oil level is ok before you run the car any further, then pull the charge pipe off the turbo and inspect the turbo for leakage.

Shit I forgot to mention a lot of oil is coming out from the dipstick too.

Oh yeah, minor detail. Sounds like rings not sealing maybe. Time for compression and leakdown tests. Does this thing idle and run smoothly? Is the oil level dramatically overfilled?
