    Question 2.7t S4 2001, smoke coming out of both sides of the motor on startup and idling.

    I've searched a couple threads already and come up with the same answers which are to change the vgc's and cct gaskets and such. I changed the vcg's and checked the cct for any leaking but ive come up dry. Theres still smoke coming up from what looks like oil sitting on the turbo manifold and any other hot parts and I'm not sure if I could have another leak somewhere or if I just need to drive around a bit and let the remaining oil residue to burn up. Started the car maybe 3 or 4 times for about 10 minutes each just to do some light digging and obd logging but thats about it and she still smokes as the car gets warmer. Exhuast also has no smoke coming out of it.

    Cam caps looked pretty dry, looks like the smoking did stop, let it just burn off and then drove it around a bit and then popped the hood with no smoke
