smoking pcv unit 700

I was hoping you all could tell me why huge amounts of smoke and generous amounts of oil would be coming out of the pcv connection under the intake on the driver side of the block. As soon as the car is started, cold, it begins smoking out of that hole ( I have the hose disconnected because it has soaked everything I mean EVERYTHING with oil on the turbo side. The turbo has been replaced but there are many bad hoses. My main problem is the smoke and oil however. The car runs good, and evenly, so I doubt it is blowby. But it could be. I have a feeling he drove it with the wastegate hose all fubar'ed and may have overloaded the engine.

1987 Volvo 740 Turbo automatic.

thanx!

    it sounds like your flame trap needs replaced along with the hoses. When I got my car the hose was missing and the hole was open. I replaced the trap and hoses and I was good to go. good luck

      Being a Turbo, it doesnt have a flame trap. I did fix the smoking yesterday however with my own custom tubing setup from that pcv box to the intake. Seems to have fixed all my issues!

      Thanx.
