I test drove a 90 tt that feels like a very solid car except it smokes some on deceleration after getting on it. Its not too bad but its white smoke. Doesnt do it on accelleration of if you push in the clutch when slowing down. Any ideas? The guy said he did a compression and leakdown test and it was normal.

Did the previous owner replace the CAT's with test pipes?
