Is this blow by oil circulating in back through the intake mani and burnin off?? I DO NOT have a catch can which I need now Im guessing.. and my exhaust NEVER smells like anything but gas fumes.... my oil is at good height on the check stick.. so im not losing any oil.. I may need to take my intake piping off and see if its collecting in the bottom of it but.. just wanting to know if you think its the blow by oil just burnin off.. Thanks

My car does the same thingf only worse - (but i run 40- psi)

How many miles are on your car ?

Sounds like some blow by or possibly a turbo seal leaking a bit under boost

It is prob nothing to worry about unless the condition worsens

Sounds like a combination of blow by and the the fact that you do not have a cat to catch the unburnt fuel. I noticed a big difference in the smoke from my car when I removed my cat. As far as catch cans go I know someone now makes one that mounts very nicely in the V of the Strut Bar brace. That is the only one that seems to fit nicely into our engine bay. I made my own for $5. Two brass fittings, some scrap metal in the garage and a mig welder. It is nice and small and mounts out of sight behind the battery.
