Could it still be old deposits in the tailpipe ?? Or just that most of it comes out of that pipe.

Hey Ebajema, I think if there were any deposits (which there were) have disappeared by now. The other pipe is not blocked to my knowledge because clear smoke still comes our of it. The driver side pipe is spouting Grey smoke. Seals haven't been a ouched as far as I know in the past 3 years. Vehicle only has 78,000kms ish. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

Mmmmm that is a bit of a conundrum. Do you get any Check Engine Lights and / or faultcodes.

Nope no check engine lights. The valve seals are fine I'm sure because before the PCV problem, there was never any smoke like this and the PCV failing along along with the seals drying up is a coincidence hard to line up. As for the exhaust, I'm pretty sure that is fine as well since before the PCV failed, it too was performing just as it should. I haven't had the compression checked however that is on my list now. Hopefully I'll be opening up the range tomorrow for its facelift so I'll have a look around then. And all the coolant is as it the levels it should be. Oil is either definitely leaking, or there is still pools of residual oil which likes entering the atmosphere only from the driver side tail pipe lol. There is no sign of a loss in performance, I was feinding around in sport mode yesterday and it performed just as it always does. I'll take it to my friends shop soon, he's worked on numerous X5's with the M62 setup so he might be able to figure something. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

Actually regarding the check engine light, it did exist during the mushroom cloud phase, but after only replacing the PCV valve and piping the light went away. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

So found out it's not the compression. Compression is perfectly fine in the engine. Couldn't find anything else wrong with the vehicle that may cause this smoke, so just ruling it out as residual oil smoke. Now we wait for it to go away. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

Drive the car around gently until it's warm, then get on the freeway and drive at 3-4.5k revs for about 15 mins, should burn out anything left in the tail pipes
