Sudden oil consumption 1995, 850 T 850

My 1995, 850T has never used or leaked oil and has 150k miles on it. In the past several weeks it has been leaking oil by the front radiator and puddles about the size of an orange when parked. Oil consumption is now about a quart every 300 miles. Have replaced oil filter line from the turbo, and the car shows no fault codes at present. Also had engine oil blow-by which was resolved by a new seal on the oil cap. Car runs great otherwise. Any thoughts about what might be causing the oil consumption?
