So it burns up fuel?
How are oil and coolant level?
If they are good then check your coolant. Any residual of oil or fuel in coolant tank?
If you have oil in coolant tank, is blown headgasket
If you have fuel mixed in coolant, then is injector seals.
My conclude is injector seal is leaking or bad injector
Check your fuel system if there is any bubble coming. To do this you have to remove your fuel filter next to oil filter housing, crank up and observe for bubbles.
If that is the case. I recommend you to replace all the seal on every injector and copper seals. which is around $50 or less per packet. Make sure you buy one that comes with copper seals too.
I will PM you my cell. you can text me if you need any further assistance.

But if it just a seal, I recommend you have to replace them all.
I was reading on another duplicated post of yours. Rebuild kit for turbo cost around less than $100 for a new rubber and oil seals.
To remove and disassemble the turbo is very tricky. It took me less than 2 hours to remove, clean, and install it back. Soked in simple green solution for less than 15mins to dissolve and scrub them up, lubricate and assemble back with new seals. Unless you want like a shiny thing then will require more tools and time.
*Important thing is when you are try to remove a compressor from turbo shaft, you must turn a clockwise.

From another post of yours. No cranking or No start no crank at all?

First thing I would check is oil pressure leak test by air compressor and how much FICM voltage is getting from OBDII
You can check for both pressure and voltag from OBDII
