[Vwdiesel] oil around injectors/smoke problem

[The President]

To check for valve cover pressure; use a piece of paper and place it over 
filler cap hole (whilst holding one end) Increase revs and see if it dies 
away.Often wat feels like severe blowby is simply the air passing to and fro 
from piston churning. Using the same piece of paper hold it over exhaust so 
that you can peruse the crud coming out at your leisure.
