Ok, so I've sealed the baffle on the valve cover, swapped the air cleaner 
housing from the '82 300D into the CD, and changed the oil cooler lines.  
It's still burning oil and smoking but not leaking more than 2-3 small drops 
on my parking spot.  The turbo intake is dry and free of oil now.  
I ran it the other day(2500-3000rpm/5 minutes) with the breather tube 
(flat/upgraded version) in a plastic bottle and there was only 2 drops of oil 
in the bottle when I was done.  I also put my hand over the breather hole and 
held it there for more than 20 seconds with out it dying.  
Any other ideas where my oil might be going?  TIA all.
