Redon is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Smoke

It might be the thin pipe is cracked. Its a pig to replace. Very difficulyt to get at. It driops oil on to the hot manifold and makes smoke. My mechanic made a new (colied) pipe and fitted it. Mind you, my turbos just started sounding like a fighter jet on take off...high pitched whistle.....?
