Hello , my Name is Oscar and I have a problem with my DSM:dsm: . I have a 1998 Rs, turbocharged 420A. Manual. 84k miles. Running 9 psi.

About 3 days ago I overfilled my car with oil (about 1qrt extra), and I drove it hard on the freeway. When I got home I noticed it was smoking from the oil cap, dipstick, and valve cover breather. The smoke is white and it smells like exhaust. I changed my oil and added the correct amount of oil but its still smoking ( its not just smoking , the smoke has pressure). I covered the valve cover breather with my thumb and a lot of smoke started coming out from the gap between my manifold and the turbo, (thick smoke wasn’t white anymore). Oh and its not smoking from the back (exhaust tip, muffler). I was wondering if anyone might know what’s wrong with my car or what I should do to find out.:cry:
 
3rd cylinder has 50 psi, did a wet test and the pressure increased.. im going to swap the engine and keep it N/A.
