    Default still got smoke issues

    hey guys i had bad oil smoke a while ago and it was caused by the restrictive oil drain i had, i fixed that up but i have started getting some smoke again on the odd occasion mainly just when im at the lights or idling, only noticed it since the hot weather? dunno if thats the problem tho?

    was gonna ask if it could have something to do with when the turbo was burning oil??

    any ideas or things to eliminate would be great.
