Default Too Much Smoke Coming Out My Exhaust!

I have a 1995 Turbocharged B18C1 Engine and excessive white smoke is coming out my exhaust. Every time I take my foot off the gas and then while my foot goes back on the gas, the white smoke comes out my exhaust in clowds. My compression is 200 205 200 200.
Leakdown is 7% 10% 10% 7%
I will be replacing my PCV valve soon to see if that is the cause. Any other suggestions?

dude I feel for you man. Welcome to the club. Have you inspected the turbo? Take off the charge pipe and see if theres oil in there.

The Turbo is brand new. I checked for oil when I took off the charge pipe and found no oil. If there was oil there, what could have caused it? Thanks.

oil in the charge pipe is blown seals on the turbo.

may have a leaking headgasket. watch the temp gauge just to be safe.

If there was oil there it would have been a bad turbo. It could be your oil rings but iono. I've never done a leakdown so I don't know if the #'s are any good. I wish you luck

I would say its the rings or the turbo. I think the headgasket shows up on the compression test. Where are the experts here tonight. I'm just as curious as the owner.

Did you try the leakdown, and take the radiator cap off and listen for hissing?

It may be something to try to help solve your problem.

Good luck

Do you use synthetic oil? If the smoke was due to coolant, it would be obvious like someone else said, pressure escaping out the rad. cap during the leakdown; and even more so, you would have a milky substance in the oil.
