Bad seals? what do you think is wrong?
ok the engine is a 420a with a T3 garrett on it. we've been running about 7 or 8 psi, not much basically. well anywho somehow the boost controller got f'ed up and bumped it up to about 11.5 psi, which probably isnt to great on stock internals. we got that fixed now but yesterday when my bro started his car it started leaking oil pretty damn bad, as you can see in one of these photos, there is a considerable amount of oil spitting out of the breather valve on the valve cover. we checked all the oil lines/fittings. now we are trying to diagnose what is broke. so what do you guys think? here are the pics.
the whole engine bay  this is that valve mentioned above that oil is sprayed out of.  the turbo set up

Problem Diagnosis forum
Check the oil, see if its milky, if milky and smoke , Im 100% sure you blow your head gasket, cause over boost. And damage the engine internor. Good luck bro, btw you dont have to go to problem diagnosis forum and make another topic, the mod here will move it for you, just post it in right forum next time  .

Re: Bad seals? what do you think is wrong?
yeah i think its the rings too, oil isnt milky. we did a compression test, cylinder 1 had oil in it and had low compression (between 60 and 70)
