[Vwdiesel] sparks out the tailpipe

[mikitka]

Forgot to mention I do have blow by, if I had to judge it I would say it is
on the excessive side. I need to get a catch can set up coming off the cam
cover breather, oil is soaked all through that hose and into my intake hose.
Just can't get the time to make one. It smokes bad, oil smoke from what I
can tell until it gets warmed up and burns all the oil that gets into the
intake, at least that is my take on it. I could be wrong but all my valve
seal were new back 30k miles and it smokes just as much then as it does now.
I also think my rings are not 100% seated, oh so many factors. But hey it
gets me to point a from point b at an inexpensive rate so I can't complain,
oil usage is around a quart to every 2,500 miles.

Sounds like one of your rings is disintegrating.
