My car is smoking a "little" at idle and start up. There is oil in the inlet bell(small amount) and in the up-pipe(don't know how to gauge the amount), just a mild film. No noticable wet film in the downpipe. The 49 has been rebuilt twice in the last 500 miles(exhaust seal let loose the first time but it was completely smoke free before that happened). Now second rebuild and its smoking again. I drive this car very easy, rarely in boost when driven. I guess I need to contact the rebuilder(no one here) but I'm sure due to the time frame I'm out of luck. The PVC is blocked off and vented as well breathers in both valve covers. Is this the turbo ...again? Thanks

What do you have feeding it oil, stock line or Turbo Saver etc?

What is your oil pressure at start up and WOT?
