you turbo seals are gone out. No onjector oring pull the right (passenger side) turbo boot off and see if there is oil in the boot. If not look at the tailpipe if you have a straight pipe and rub your finger on the inside to see if there is wet oil in it. Even the slightest wet oil. Your turbo seals are gone

Do you know that you replied to a 14 year old thread? I doubt the OP will even see it.

Well the rubber on those O-rings is over 25 years old, don't use anything other than Motorcraft O-ring kits. I wasn't even having any issues with my truck using oil and I pulled the injectors out to check the clearance and I found the o-ring were wearing away. They were the original with 88k original miles.
