ive got a 95 240 with a red top sr20 in it basically stock. I got on it a little excessive one night and while driving home it was billowing out smoke. the next day i saw there was oil all over the transmission and i saw the valve cover gasket had a hole in it. after getting a new one my car still smoked bad so i took of my intake and saw there was oil all inside my turbo everywhere. so i thought that was the problem and just yesterday picked my turbo up from getting it rebuilt. After all that i thought my problem was over but it stills burns oil out the exhaust when i touch the gas peddle. anybody know of what it might be??? but the car still idles fine and everything. Any help would be appreciated.

it could just be oil in your intake and exhaust still burning off.

It's possible. A friend of mine had blown his turbo and replaced it with a new one. It smoked for about another 2 days before it finally quit.
