Right, so here's the facts:
Light grey smoke on startup
Plumes of smoke coming out of the exhaust
Happens mainly for about 20 minutes after startup
Smoke comes out often when descending hills, or when foot is lightly pressed on the throttle
Smoke disappears when accelerating or taking foot off accelerator completely
So currently I'm thinking it could be:
Turbo seals
Piston rings
Valve stem seals?
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'm checking the dipstick to see if the oil loss is a lot, I think the colder weather makes it seem worse than before.
