Well I check my oil level almost every week and its always where it should be , is there any engine damage like heavy amounts of carbon build up around the valves or throttle plate ?

There's a lot of oil build up right where the hose that comes from the airbox to the turbo . I can't even see the clamp that holds the hose to the turbo no more
