Im going to change the oil, and add zmax and lucas to the oil to protect the internals. I also did a tune up and noticed that the 5 cylinder spark plug was coverd in oil, is that a valve cover gasket leak internally, and if not what could that be. I didnt pressure test the cooland system to see if the head gasket is bad. The turbo spoils, but the car does stumble when its near 8 psi. There is no shaft play on the turbo, and the vac at idle is -22 to -24 vac from the motor.

do not use stop leak... it will only bit you in the ass down the line
