White Smoke help M57 335D

_gentry101 · 02-27-2021, 11:55 AM

I have intermittent heavy white smoke, no codes
What's done
VC, CCV, Carbon clean, injectors, thermostat
Off road spec with DUDMD tune
Oil pooling in sections of exhaust, intake clean, intercooler clean
Exhaust removed, no shaft play and turbine dry, assume so hot burns off

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Sadly doesn't seem like there is an "easy" solution to do an inspection on it

Not that hard to do so.

Check the inspection plug on the bottom of the transmission. If there's oil coming out then it's most likely the valve cover gasket. According to AArod it pressurizes the crank case and pushes oil out all over the place. Search for his video.
