This was bothering me as well. Wouldn't oil through the intake turn
up as clouds of smoke out the exhaust? I'm just asking as I sometimes
get plumes of smoke when I floor the throttle in my slush-box equipped
'90 200T. It is less now with the synthetic oil I am using, but I'm
told there is still smoke out the back. I am worried if it might be
my turbo failing or whether the smoke is normal.
