Need some opinions here.
My car has had a taste for oil since the day I bought it.
Here's what's going on now.
If I drive the car around for 10-20 minutes (moderate driving) then park it for a short period and start it back up I get a healthy cloud of white smoke that pours out of the tail pipes at idle. Then if I drive it around for a short while the smoke will disappear. (Pretty sure it's oil)
I used to think that it was my PCV valve that was sucking oil (which it was) but I have disconnected it temporarily and cleaned the throttle body until my check valves gets here. So I don't think that is the answer now because it has been clean for a couple days.
Also, the inlet section of the turbo is still bone dry so I know my seals are still good. They should be. The turbo only has about 500 miles on it. And the intercooler is clean.
So does anyone have any ideas about what's going on?
Why does it only smoke at startup?
Thanks
Tim
