Hey Guys maybe you can help me with this one.

My engine has been leaking oil for a long time and smoking rather bad recently.

My friend told me it could be the clother breather box causing Excessive crank case pressure. So I took it off and cleaned it out. (it didn't seem all that gooped up). It did however help my Crank case pressure a bit. (as was found out by the no longer levetating oil cap test).

I am still getting a constant stream of smoke out of the tale pipe, especially when idling or after going into boost and coming to a stop.

Is this blow by? my compression numbers are OK. I inspected my hoses clean al beit a little oily.

Any suggestions? Thank for the help.
