I've got oil seal issues on an engine with only 500 miles. Well, I now have 1k + miles and smoke has gotten worse. Def. not my turbos, not the OMP bec. too much smoke is coming out.......enough to cover my neighbors house. Supposedly if it were your OMP you would not get THAT much smoke. Also, pulled all four of my plugs and they have oi on them......the treads etc...

ive seen 3 things cause the smoking.
1. is the motor, it can only leak from the rotor oil seals (to burn it) which means a rebuild
2. is the turbos, they can leak into just the exhaust, just the intake, or externally, or some combination therof
3. the metering oil system, they use the valves on top of the motor to bleed air into the metering oil, or to help suck more oil, so if the vacuum side is hooked up wrong it can cause it to over oil at idle and smoke. it prolly cant move enough to do a high rpm smoke
4. it could also be the pcv, usually it just leaks externally, but it prolly could leak inside the engine
5. if you overfill it with oil, it will go everywhere and come out of odd spots
