I think you are mis-diagnosing the issue here.

Crank case buildup is not bad for the car, however excessive pressure will cause leaks at and around the valve cover and oil cap...I can get into it for hours but lets not.

If you are experiencing blue smoke (oil) coming out your tail pipe, it cannot be from crank case, im sorry, its just not possible.

What is more likely is your turbo is leaking, talk to jhaan_dude, he rebuilds for cheap.

or, another possibility is oil is leaking down from leaky valve seals.

Or, the last thing to check is rings, if they are wron, oil may not be cleaned off he walls, and it is being burned.
