Just a general question about oil in the intake, due to PCV issues. Why does the smoke appear only at startup, and not while running?
For example:
I had a turbo rebuilt, which left a lot of oil in the system. That was couple months ago, and I still find oil in the system. I'm thinking PCV... however, valves and system seem to flow clear. Since I'm not seeing any reduction in performance, this can't be ring blow-by. I'm left thinking this oil in the intake is just from the bad turbo. (Also, as Anders said, the V6 doesn't typically have PCV issues).
SO: I see blue smoke when I startup, but runs perfectly clean otherwise. However the oil doesn't seem to clear out of the intake... is the system so saturated?
So
a) Why do I see smoke ONLY on startup?
b) Will the oil ever make it out of the system?
Thanks.
