I had my oil change less 500 miles ago and it was over the 2nd line on my dipstick, now its below the first line. I ran it hard couple of times. Could it be my turbo? I had my sister video tape my exhaust at idle while I rev at it. I saw some bluish smoke not very much though.
Another question, how come my clutch sometimes losses pressure. Most of the times when I go to school in the morning when my car is just sitting for a period of time. Sometimes while driving too. I have to pump my clutch I'm guessing I need to bleed it

Could be turbo or piston rings do a compression test just to see. For the clutch it sounds like you either have a bad slave or master cylinder. It's not a bad idea to repplace both. You can also go for ss lines someone (roadrace maybe) makes a full ss clutch line (master to slave) for $100. Master and slave together are about $120 from rockauto.com.

can also be bad value seals (caused my burning oil)

Yeah thats true, even easier to check for. Just take off the oil fill cap while it's idling and feel if there is a lot of air blowing out, if so it's bad valve stem seals.

find out if it happens after you shift, then its probably valve seals
