Thanks. Today I did pull the PCV while idling in the drive, as so the line was not hooked to the PCV and was drawing in air thru the PCV hose right into the vacuum block on top. I didn't drive the car, just let it idle. it still has smoke coming out.

I would pull the plugs and see how they look. Try to determine if oil is entering pre or post combustion.

Thanks. I've pulled the plugs twice now. They look like the typical brownish chalky color. They don't look oil fouled at all.

Perhaps I should pull the downpipe and see if the exhaust wheel is oil soaked?

That's what I would do.

I'm still leaning towards the PCV valve. Make sure it's a Turbo Specific valve. You might as well go order one at the parts store and swap it out. $10 isnt much.

The PCV I am using is AC Delco p/n CV893C. I also use a brass check valve between the PCV and the throttle body to keep boost out of the crankcase such as this...http://www.kirbanperformance.com/product/43836/REPLACEMENT+HEAVY-DUTY+PCV+VALVE+#7302.html

The Exxon Valdez ran aground inside your exhaust housing.

That's just a funny reply. lol I have a leak after I start the car, so I'm almost in the same boat. Make me nervous. It doesn't leak until you start it up, then you start seeing a little smoke, and you can hear it hitting the crossover pipe.
