How full?  over a period of time the engine breather does dump loads of mucky oil sludge into the inlet.  If it's got there suddenly or it's runny then you definitely have a problem.

Possible the turbo oil seals (not a good scenario as the engine will run on this oil and run away with you) or very excessive breathing.

White smoke is fuel possibly starvation, the black smoke would be the oil burning in the cylinders.

White smoke/steam is water in combusiont (head gasket) white acrid smoke is timing, possibly fuel starvation.

if its white smoke smelling of fuel its not starvayion but the pump timing is retarded check pump timing paying particulr attention to pump and crank woodruff keys as these do break up if the pully is a slightly loose good luck merrick

Unburnt oil in the exhaust side of the turbo from blown turbo shaft seals also gives white smoke.......... Thats smoke as opposed to steam.

I had a dodge injector give loads of white smoke ..

Get the engine running and slacken of the injector pipes a little one at a time if the engine note changes the injector is alright and if it dosn't then it's dodgy.

Wrap a bit of rag around the pipe and spanner to avoid a spert in the eye etc (safety first :wink:) also try putting some injector cleaner in .

I like to try the cheapest things first if it's not obvious whats wrong :D
