smoke on low RPM decel?
Driving the car downhill/coasting in gear about 2300-1800RPM it will smoke.. not sure what color it is. white, but it's probably oil.

it DOES NOT do it at high rpm, at least not enough to notice inside the car. I took the car up to 7500 in 4th yesterday and coasted down to idle.. no smoke till like 2500.

Im going by S-AFC revs because they're porbably more accurate than the tach.. if they're not, then add 300RPM to all of those figures.

is this turbo or oil seals?

Maybe while accelerating (or cruising), the combustion pressures are sufficient to keep the oil on the "right" side of the oil control rings, but during decel the oil's getting past...How many miles on her?

Yep.

No premixing here!

I did that for a while last year but got lazy.

OMP seems to work fine.
