yes, turbo is new, cost me over $2000 for it. new turbo was leaking oil to both inlet and outlet (intake and exhaust), intake manifold and exhaust full of oil and had to be re cleaned. my update is on the latest turbo that was installed since the 2nd brand new one was shot as well.
i'm thinking its between the coolant or oil as well, as they are the ones circulating inside the engine, however i still don't have much time with the car to test it further. once i get it back will carefully monitor the level.
as for fuel and its consumption, the same thing, i could not test different fuels and its consumption as vehicle is back at the stealership for addition problems they made with the car (they broke my PDC, door actuator, did not attach suspension, under chassis cover properly)
once all the small things are sorted, that's when i can monitor the gas, oil and coolant
thanks for sharing you input

You really need to determine whether its coolant or oil.!As you know ,its easy to differentiate !
You say the exhaust was cleaned!If oil went into the exhaust when turbo broke,then unless they put a new exhaust in ,you will always have oil residues in the exhaust for a while until it all blown out,no matter how they claimed to have cleaned it!
The other issue is finding out why they think the turbo broke?Dealers make a common mistake in replacing the turbo without analysing why!A reason for turbo breaking is poor lubrication and this usually means thats the oil inlet pipe to the turbo has a blockage!Seen it loads of times!
Good luck
