b5 Audi A4 Smokes

[Viqueens]

Okay i got this car two years ago and had a few problems that i have asked on here and the answers were right on so now I got another one. I will start my car up normally runs fine and everything no smoke or anything I will drive it for about 10 minutes going 60 or so just so it heats up. If i stop at a store or something for 15 minutes and get back in the Audi and start it will still run fine and all but smokes out the exhaust. I got a new pcv valve in it and im getting a new crankcase breather hose hopefully this weekend i will have time to look in the oil pan. any suggestions on why this smoke thing happens?? thanks

The smoke is white and it's only for a short time and smells like rich or old gas smell i haven't smelled it before.

Not to be a Debbie downer but I had similar issues a month ago, turned out to be a Head Gasket gone bad. Are you also losing coolant? Check your oil cap for "mayonnaise" substance

no coolant loss whatsoever changed the oil this weekend and it wasnt even that milky brown color. I had an oil pressure light come on would oil pressure make it blow white smoke??

get a pressure test done, that will tell you. Something is leaking. Either head Gasket or maybe Turbo seals as the engine warms up the oil leaking burns in exhaust. But white smoke usually means coolant loss. When you drive do you hear any sort of bubbling sound or water moving about?

no noises I drive it over an hour going home on the weekends and there isn't any noises or coolant loss I haven't filled the coolant for over 3 months.

I want to believe it doesn't smoke that bad, but it could be that bad do i have to do a running compression test. if so that will take some time since my oil pump went bad this past week. and then i will be able to do that. but does it have to be a running compression test
