Help! white smoke
So the p11 started throwing out white smoke, checked injectors they are good, pulled out the plugs and got oil in the #4 piston chamber so I'm thinking valve seals or piston rings. Problem is I don't have a leak down tester or a compressor. Looking for someone local I'm in Rialto(92376) that can help me do a leak down test to find out what's wrong. If it's the valve seals I'll pay to have them fixed if it's the rings I'm thinking I'll look for another w11 block and sell mines. If anyone can help please Pm me or u can text me @ (909)419-6787 thanks.

White smoke is coolant 99% of the time.

Plugs that are wet are usually the spark plug gaskets failure.

If it were your piston rings or valve seals, oil level would be going down and it would be burning oil which typically burns blue.

whiteser when you ask for help list all the details about your car. Is it the stock SR20DE in the P11? is a turbo DE+T? DET? ect? Sounds like headgasket to me too. You should be low on coolant too if it's coming out the tail pipe. was this at WOT? or just at idle?
