Ok so could this be the cause of all the smoke issues. I found it this morning while poking around. Any ideas?

How much oil is the car using, how often to you top it up?
[quote=LiamT4;446738]How much oil is the car using, how often to you top it up?[/quote] Top up a litre other week, depends, since March she has had about 12 litres back in in total. 18 of you count the oil change
My mates T4 was smoking alot when put yr foot down when he took it to a garage they told him its common on thede cars.Apparantly one of them pipes,I didn`t go into details.Check all the pipes.
That a quite often then, but from that picture there doesn't look too much. If it smokes on boost then its usually a turbo issue, like the oil feed pipe.
Off boost, on boost, from the back, from underneath the car, it smokes. Feel like Ive got Bob Marley in the boot.
I still think its the oil return pipe seal, it seems to spray a fine mist of oil which gets everywhere. Are you getting drips on the driveway. Theres also a stud with a brass washer thats an oil seal also.

Its been like it since I got it but with other things needed doing to it its only now I am in a position to do anything. As I said at the meet, am going to have to take her in as not got a driveway or garage to take a look. Fingers bloody crossed hey
It'll get sorted with a bit of luck.
