My 1g daily driver 1.8 Eclipse has a very strange problem. Whenever I take a right hand exit ramp or strong curve, a huge cloud of white smoke comes out of the tailpipe. It is a very large amount and will often make the car behind me pull to the side of the road! If I unhook the PCV valve, it does not do it. I know it is nothing internal to the engine as the compression is 190 across the board. Also, this is the only time the engine smokes. I have searched and asked many mechanics but nobody knows what is going on. Please help!!! Has this ever happened to anybody?
