For anyone interested- did a compression test a couple of weeks ago; I hit 175 clean accross the board. Coolant levels have not dropped a bit. This is oil burning when it does not go through the combustion process. It's burning off the downpipe.

Thats coolant. Oil is blue.

It's definitely oil- I know it doesn't look blue, but there is no doubt that it's oil. It literally drips oil from the seam of the down pipe to midpipe (didn't have it completely tightened.) I'm thinking it's the Exhaust side Turbo oil seal. The strange engine reving (the car is doing that on it own with throttle) I think must be the AFM or injectors...

i would say head gasket most likely.itll stay make great vacuum from the other cylinders.when the smoke goes away the thermostat is shut and you inhale all of the blocks coolant,when it comes back it reopened and let more water into block to burn off.

Looks more like a coolant leak.. head gasket/ intake gasket on some cars.

What a ST185 with an oil seal problem looks like.
