Worn oil control seals (side seals). Worn oil control seals (side seals). Worn oil control seals (side seals). Worn oil control seals (side seals).



And um... Worn oil control seals (side seals).







I suppose the OMP could be flooding it but it's usually the above.

Bad oil seals in the turbo and/or a really dirty air filter could also cause smoking.
