s5 n/a smoke galore!
 
So I bought another s5 n/a rx7 with 158k miles! The engine has perfect compression startts up right away no issues. I noticed it smoked a lil at cold start and did consume good amounts of oil, obviouslt oiil seals. I put all my parts coilovers,header,block off plates. Regular oil changes for about 3 months now. Car never ran hot ever since I had it. Its been to the mountains alot, seen redline alot. Also took it to a track day and wsir and seen no problems,didn't over heat,only used 1 quart of oil and see 8k rpm all day long.

So lastnight I drop my gf off at home and im driving home and just do a quick run through the gears on the on ramp. I power shift from second to third and it seems like it went to third but it didn't it over revved the shit outa the engine but I quickly correct it. No smoke no nothing, I get it home n the idle is perfect,temp is perfect, oil pressure is good.

I go outside,check my oil (almost full) and start the car in the morning and WOW just dumping out tons and tons and tons of white smoke! It smells like straight oil! I try to let it warm up and thhe smoke is just too much for my area. So I try to just drive the smoke off and hell now! From the time I left my hhouse till the time I got to where I left the car just clouds and clouds of smoke!

I have nowhere to let the car reach full temp without the cops being called lol. I tried starting it a few time and still same result dumping out smoke. Just want some input on to what else it could possibly be besides oil seals! Which im 95% sure it is haha =(

Are you sure it's oil smoke or water smoke (steam)?

It definitely has that burning oil stench to it and my water level hasn't moved one bit. I've never had to fill water in the car before.

I been starting it everday to see if maybe the engine is playing a trick on me but nope! =( although lastnight the smoking wasn't as bad. Until I moved it out the driveway, that's when the fun happened. If someone was getting a smog check theh would have failed. Lolol. =(
