having a issue here....

Pull off your hot pipe going to the intercooler. Any oil? How many miles on the car? As stated, do a compression test. A leakdown test would be in order too. From your description of the problem, doesn't sound like a headgasket issue. If it was, your overflow tank would be spewing oily milkshake everywhere (or your oil would be overfull with coolant). Might be time to take it to a pro if you are not equipped to diagnose the problem. In the meantime- keep a close eye on the oil. Last thing you need to do is starve it and blow it up.

you need a leakdown tester. you should be able to get one from harbor freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94190 it's basically a compression tester that you put air into to see where it's leaking from.
