My car doesn't smoke when i start it and it is cold. It used to do it but i replaced the valve stem seals last year and it cured my problem.
my smoke occurs when i go for a ride, stop the car and take it back a couple hours later. It won't smoke immediatly but after 2-3 minutes, if i come to a stop, it will someke really bad. It will smoke for maybe 5 minutes and then it stops.
I checked the throttle body to see if the turbo was leaking and it was not. I am pretty it can't be the valve stem seals as i did those last year.
could i have oil dropping on the exhaust side of the turbo? My tailpipe also seems to be pretty black. I don't think i am running too rich as my a/f gauge show 15:1 at idle and light throttle.
i checked fuel pressure and it doesn't seem to drop quick so i suppose it ain't an injector.
I did not change anything on the car.
what could it be?
