Running rich or burning oil??

[Squire]

hey guys, was out for a cruise today and switched cars with my buddy for a little bit and noticed after acceleration and shifting a descent quite noticable amount of burnt exhaust was coming out, not black but not blue almost grey. when i first bought the car it was quite blue replaced both o2 sensors, did compression test head gaskets good, does smell like oil burning though. Car doesnt have a cat either but i thought it would only smell.

just wondering if u guys could help me out, putting a big turbo in within july so if it is turbo im not worried about it got to 148 k today :(

Thanks !

Grey ish is usually rich but it's tough to say you need to get some logs of requested lambada vs actual

with the amount of issues you seem to have with this car, why don't you start off new with a fresh platform?

Sounds good. As a temp test you can pull the line off of the "hockey puck" cap the inlet side and go for a drive.

Also if your leakage is from the pcv system you should see signs of oil pre turbo in the intake.
