If anything itd be a bit low, when i bought it a few months ago i did a service on it and the oil was pretty low. Drained about 7lts out and put 10 back in. That was about a month ago, last checked about a week ago and still looks good. Old mate reckons hes had the turbo hi flowed so wouldnt suprise me if theres an issue with the internals or something

Not sure Jayden, was honestly concerned about your internal oil consumption though as a very good mate of mine may have hydro-locked his TD from turbo issues.
For sure mate. WM's idea sounds good for a test. You could also pull off the air outlet of the turbo that heads towards your engine and check how much oil is inside the pipework near there. Sorry, that's about the extent of my turbo knowledge Jayden, best of luck mate!
mmm its a fairly typical leak . Just disconnect the engine breather and run it to Atmosphere like someone else said . check the air filter is not blocked .
lots of diesels do this when they get a few Kms under there belt . the fumes get in the intake to the Turbo . the turbo then centrifugal force takes over and the oil gets separated out of the air oil mix . then you get oil leaks
