I spoke with a local bay area saab shop about the oil burning I have and he mentioned checking the downpipe from the turbo and looking for oil there as well as making sure the pvc tube is clear. I did both and there isn't any oil in the turbo outlet to the downpipe and the pvc tube is clear. I did a compression check earlier and had the following results: cyl. 1 = 110 dry, 140 wet, cyl's 2-4 140 dry (no wet test for them as I don't think they are an issue). It looks to me like a ring problem in cyl. 1 meaning a rebuild is going to be in order.
The only other thing I'm trying here, for short term, is changing oil to a single weight and using Lucas Oil Stabilizer. I am at a loss as to why I would have one cylinder suddenly decide to lose compression as this one has. Still, a rebuild at 294,000+ miles ain't bad.
