I went and started the car yesterday and it started blowing out white smoke. It was a lot of white smoke which was creating a fog screen behind me. You could smell oil burning the entire way home. Once I got home I popped the hood and had oil in the center of the valve cover and it looked like its coming from the oil cap. Once it cooled off I checked the oil which was almost empty but black and makes since on why the smoke stopped by time I got home. I checked the coolant and it's still green with no milk. There was oil dripping out of the intercooler piping fitting tho. I took off the intake pipe and checked for play on the turbo and it didn't seem like any.

The car fires up instantly with no hesitation. Is this a bad pcv valve, a clogged return line on the turbo or is it the seals are blowing by in the turbo. The oil leaking past the oil cap and the dipstick tube almost pushed out makes me think a clogged line or pcv valve. The car dose have a catch can so maybe that needs to be drained? I am learning all this as I go so any advice & help will be greatly appreciated

Oh yeah. At least further south than I am. :cool:
Oklahoma has much better things like TAXES than my poor ass state of Kansas does. They tax the ever loving shit outta me and my 8 cars and house. You probably know.
 
I am definitely NOT the master of anything but thanks for the kind words.
