Smoke on boost - blowby on rings (oil breather & intake will be dripping with oil). OR thrust bearing gone on turbo - you would notice endfloat (in/out play) so shaft pushes across with pressure and opens up a gap in a seal. If it goes to intake, intercooler will be dripping with oil while intake side of turbo is dry. If it goes to exhaust, you will just see smoke, normally white/grey with tinge of blue. Smoke on overrun is likely sucking oil up past rings (possibly oil ring problem) or possibly valve stem oil seals, although generally the latter tends to cause huge cloud of smoke on first start up long before any smoke while running. |

By the way, is your oil breather going through a catch can to atmosphere, or going back into the intake ? If atmos, disregard what I said above about breather & intake, would be just breather. |

Now it vents straight back to the intake . |

Had same problem with a golf the other day. Did a leak down test and it just dissapeared within minutes. Maybe worth a try? |

Most probably yes but as a start i would just try to see if any oil or wetness on top of pistons. Cant remember fully what we used but we actually poured liquid into spark hole with piston at bottom and it all just seeped past rings after few minutes. |

Just a further question on this matter gents please , how many breathers from the engine should there be ? I only have one breather from the rocker cover to the intake , and thinking back I'm almost sure there was another from the lower rear of the lump...hmmm , or am i dreaming again. |
