Well this sucks, I think there is oil on top of the pistons. Pulled the plugs and looked down about 30 minutes after work once it cooled down and #1 (worst compression cylinder) looked like it had oil sitting in part of it, the rest weren't quite as bad but were still a little wet. There was also oil on the bottom of the vband clamp on the center section of the turbo, and also oil on the water and oil return lines, not sure where this is coming from, maybe from the bottom center stud on the exhaust manifold.

I drained the oil and didn't find a bunch of metal or anything, but I did find a very small piece of metal stuck in the turbo feed line filter. Probably just from break-in (I hope).
