Compression is ok for a high mileage motor.

Check the turbo. Some oil may be getting past the seals or blow-by past the rings when you let off the gas.

Notice any smoke at all at any time? I'd look under the car for a leak if not. Drain plug, turbo oil feed, oil filter housing, front case, somewhere.
