Been driving the car around today to find out it's smoking out of the exhaust (burning oil).

First thought is bad seals on the exhaust side of the turbo, so I pull the downpipe off. Looks fine, no oil, no shaft play, etc.

So, what else does that leave me with? Rings and PCV valve? I have a PCV valve ordered, it will be here at the beginning of the week. I haven't done a leak down test yet. Possible that a compression test would show anything?

Motor only has like 3,500-4,000 miles on it.

Thoughts?

I'm hoping it's just the PCV valve... just put a new converter and tranny in the car, don't feel like spending more money on it right now. :mad:
