Has anybody ever experienced oil running out the breather? Changed the turbo, oil is fresh and clean, machine runs perfectly and rings are tight. Just started doing it the other day. 2011 vermeer bc1000 XL
 
Most engines have an engine blow-by capture tube that feeds into the air intake system somewhere. I'd start looking there, first.

Disconnect it, then look for lots of smoky blowby. If you find it, that's not a good sign.
I don't ever recall a turbo putting oil back into the breather assembly, but I suppose it might if something were much different than I have seen.
 
what oil did you use? if its not a diesel specific oil supposedly it can cause the rings to foul causing extreme blowby
I run T5 15w40 rotella in everything
