Lee,

My 95 avant started to do a similar thing late summer. I noticed it mostly
with A/C running at idle (high vacuum). This happened mostly after high
boost runs (car was full RS2 less cam). I have taken the RS2 goods off the
car since then, and now no smoke whatsoever. Have you checked compression or
done a leak down test?
