well i fixed the cam seal and got a new coil today. now my car is drivable just one big **** problem. it smokes like i've never seen before. it is a 95 gs with a turbo setup. im thinking i blew a seal in the turbo like ive done before. but i opened the hood to check it out and i had oil coming out of the breather filter on top of the valve cover. anyone ever seen that before or know what could be causeing it to smoke so bad. please let me know what u think and what i could do to fix it.

engine level is good. my mechanic said it might be a bad head gasket or a hole in one of the pistons. no it didnt just happen. it was running good but i overboosted the car and blew a cam seal. fixed that and it still ran like ***. had a misfire so got a new coil. it helped a lot but it still not running right. smokes really bad throught the exhaust. it also smokes real bad from the valve cover filter and throwing oil out of it. i've never seen or heard of that before.

me either but...check compression that will give you a good indication as to what is going on internally...then do a leak down test on the bad cylinder(s) to see where the air is going...
