231 smoke is coming out of the oil fill

[jimski]

Smoke is coming out of the valve cover oil fill hole big time, when the car warms up even more smoke. The pcv valve is working perfect. This is a turbo charged 231 v6.

Just looking for some opinions on what's wrong.

some smoke is perfectly normal however if you are not real familiar with what is considerd normal then it may look accessive. What are you running for breathers on the valve covers? Is it the stock setup or the standard K&N type breathers? You are going to have some crank case vapor but if it is accessive a possible cause could be a broken ring.

Turbo seal shot?

Stock breather the smoke is massive once driving it is blowing out from under the hood. It is not normal. Im thinking ring too. The smoke kinda dissapates also but does not smell like oil that much smells burnt

Blown head gasket or cracked rings.

you have verified that it is coming from the breather correct? not just under the hood which could be an oil leak....like valve cover seeping onto the manifold. If it is in fact coming from the breather then yes it sounds like an engine issue...ring or possibly head gasket. Have you checked your oil...is it clean? I would do a compression test that will be a pretty quick way to look towards a ring or head gasket.

Do a compression test....that is pretty quick and post your numbers.....

Sounds like you are creating steam. Any loss of water in the radiator? Bubbles? Blown h/g, cracked head! No milkshake, clean oil?
