It may be the ignition coil?

I have power below it (the red and blue wires), but no spark from coil wire.

How could I tell if it is this or the camshaft position sensor?

Just did spark plug test, getting no spark at plug.

I will try the spark plug spark test.

I have replaced the spark plugs.

The battery is new and charged.

leaking oil bad at turbo and engine is building up pressure indicating bad rings...

burns oil to the extent i don't think it's good/healthy to drive it...

if so...how?

Already cleaned those out. Thanks though. I just don't know where else there could be a blockage. Feel like I'm missing a valve or something somewhere. Probably the rings are tore up or cylinder walls are.

Mechanic and I agree rings are probably shot.

If I keep out of the throttle it doesn't leak. Need to just behave and limp it along.

Tried some Rislone miracle stuff, planning on it not working, then I may rig up a PCV valve in the valve cover or oil cap and create my own vent/drain. I don't have ...
