Hi guys I'm having issues with my engine,

firstly it starts and runs but when I turn it off its very hard to start.

It needs to be cranked over a while then it will start then die out straight away.

I've opened up the turbo plumbing I can can see a fair bit of oil in the front turbo housing.

Also I opened up the spark plugs and there is quite a bit of oil on the spark plugs.

This is what I'm thinking it might be.

My compression figures are quite low on the 4th 5th and 6th cylinder. Readings are at 60, 75 and 50 psi.

But it runs without a problem when I start it in the morning it's just after I turn it off and leave it for about 30 mins, then it's hard to start up again, it starts revs up to about 3000rpm then just dies..

Is there any way I can filter the oil from the intake manifolds? I have been looking at an oil catch but I need some help or any tips if it would help at all.

Cheers!
