<VV> Smoking Engine

[Mark Durham]

I'm thinking its more a turbo seal than valve seals. Valve seals usually are
pretty consistent, go from not leaking to getting progressively worse over
time and you will see little puffs for each cylinder that is pulling oil in
the intake guide.

When going down the road the turbo is spinning very fast even if you are not
pulling power, and it normally will seal well running. Its when the turbo
spins down and stops that the seal will leak, which is your scenario. Pull
the exhaust and take a look, you should be able to see where oil has run
down from the lower part of the turbine and out the pipe and coked.

Is your oil pressure set to high for the turbo seal?

Some things to check.  Mark Durham
