Constant white smoke
I just recently had problems with my turbo leaking from around the epbv rod. Well I figured I could just remove the rod and plunger and just use some jb weld to plug the hole. Well it doesn't leak out the hole any longer, but I'm burnign a ton of oil. Exhaust pipe it nearly dripping oil and people behind me absolutely hate me for the cancer I'm causing them.
Would yall know on whether it would be something in the turbo or have my piston rings gone bad. I don't think it's the rings, b/c it seem seems as if I have a ton of power.
I just put new injectors from Beans in it less than 5K ago as well.
Please help I'm stumped. I'm gonna try the turbo first b/c I know of of one in the junkyard that I can get for $25-$50. Hopefully it's still good.

When you plugged that hole, did you also unplug the EBP sensor? If the computer tries to activate the EPBV with the hole plugged off, I've heard it starves the turbo seals of oil, which leads to what Tim said above.

I also didn't catch the JB weld thing. I would not trust the JB weld to hold back the oil pressure all by itself. Put a pipe plug in that hole instead if you get your issue figured out.
