Step 1: Click search
Step 2: Type "burning oil"

But enough being an a$$, most common responses will be valve seals or leaking turbo seals. Pull off the dp and see if there is oil all over the back of your turbo.

Tried a leakdown test yet?

I know I have a very slight leak on my oil return line on my turbo. Exact same thing happens as you described. Could be something completely different though. Try and find out where it's pooling/burning off and that will give you at least a bit of an idea where it could be coming from.

valve guide seals, turbo seals, a lot of oil in your pcv system, faulty piston rings, valve seals... as you can see it can be a lot of things, cant really tell just from describing it
