Hello All,

My 2013 R60 135k mile is having some issues and trying to figure out if it's the Turbo or Valve stems before I jump in too far. No smoke on cold car start up. The car doesn't smoke during the cold winter months, unless you let it idle for a very long time (like 10+ min). But during the summer it will smoke after idle at a long traffic light and if left idling it smokes like a chimney, haha. I would assume the Turbo leaking would smoke all the time, winter and summer. The PVC was replaced several years ago, along with engine seal, and turbo oil lines at the dealer, so I can rule those out most likely.

One thing to note, there is oil buildup around several of the intake hoses and hose up from the intercooler. See attached photos.

Thanks for any advice and isights, much appreciated.
