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 **** 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 =(

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. =(
