I have noticed more lately the amount of smoke from my breather tube. I dont get a lot of oil, just lots of smoke. At night when I stop I can see it in the headlights. I dont remember seeing another one like that.
I guess Ill put a magnahelic gauge on it too.

mine seems to be doing it more since I changed the turbo, or maybe because its warm out

a bad vacuum pump can pressurize the crankcase.. Id check that.

I should say it was about 3 seconds for Jim to plug the vacuum tube I somehow pulled out back in

Be thankful it was that simple.
