I have a 4g63 stroker and I can't find where the oil leak is. When I press the gas hard a smoke appears from the exhaust. I checked the compression 175 across all 4. I changed to a new turbo I changed the valve seals. I checked the crankcase pressure -0.2 bar to 0 bar when in boost and the car still leaks, what else I have to check? The car has Evo 8 oil filter with oil cooler.

Thank you

Here is a picture from the engine.

When idling it doesn’t smoke at all when I give it gas it smokes and when I decel and coming to a stop a give it gas to clear the exhaust and it smokes a lot. At full throttle because i have boost by gear it smokes more at 1st and 2st but at third it doesn’t smoke as I see it from the rear view mirror
 
Smoking on decel usually means valve seals. The vacuum inside the engine / intake ports is pulling oil vapor through the seals. Could also be valve guides as well. Can you check inside the intake and exhaust ports and look at the valve stem and see if they've got oil built up on them?

Also are your spark plugs covered in oil?
 
Had same issue long ago - I had to change valve seals 2x the first new set didn’t seal well enough bought a diff brand on 2nd run - I think blue ones, as if color matters from brown ones.

Difference was barely noticeable except for once the blues were on , unlike the browns they refused to come back out.

I used the Chrysler tool to remove the valve train assembly with engine In car and cams / belt - still In.

Maybe it doesn’t apply here but it’s worth mentioning
 
Really there are only a hand full of places where oil can escape into intake or exhaust.
Valve cover
Turbo
Valve stems
Head gasket
Piston rings
Some other abnormality like cracked block, piston, or head
