the oil is good .... its where it needs to be... yeah they changed my pistons and my rings and well my rods are the same cause the are forged eagle rods but the changed everything,,, but the smoke it throws its with little particles of oil through the exhaust and its still the same after the new setup they did... and well he did say i had a leak on my turbo and taht just to watch out cause the oil can go through my intercooler then to my engine to my pistons

your crank case has too much pressure. look into a PCV delete and then just vent the barb on the right side of the valve cover. I had the same thing happening when my catch can plugged up.
if that doesnt fix it, then your turbo is going out.

sounds to me like your pcv isn't working correctly. +1 to the guy who spoke about the mazdaspeed6 smoking at idle, i have one and it did this but i switched to a heavier oil and it went away, although this isn't your problem, at least i dont think. for your dipstick to be blowing out there has to be to much pressure in your crankcase, it might be that your pcv is stuck open.

i would say turbo is going, what it sounds like to me, did you check it all over?? Just read some more of what you wrote, WOW if the oil is milky then the Head Gasket is blow, really, Pull the dipstick if its milky well its blown, I have seen it before on my car, take a pic and PM me that its up and I will take a look. Check other areas to be leaking fluid anywhere.
