If them 2 clamp seals integrity are compromised, then oil will make its way to the tailpipe

So I just did a 500 mile round trip fishing yesterday, fresh oil in the whole truck. Up pipes fixed, new clutch and never had a hint of oil burn smell at all, never used a drop of oil, (boat is white) all that is on it is black crap from the smoke but no oil at all. So I have no clue, everything seemed to be normal, boost was 36psi at wot when passing a couple cars up the pass. I'll keep driving it and see what happens, if I keep using oil I will put the stock turbo in and see what happens.
