I'm pretty positive but I wanted to ask. I smell oil under hard acceleration. 1-3 and there a light oder of bunt oil and no smoke, but if I go for a hard pull and run the gear up to 5th then start to decelerate, I get white smoke coming out the back. Oil oder is really strong then. I assume this is a bad oil seal on the turbo. I do have oil in the intake last time I checked (4 weeks ago) but I don't smell oil or see any smoke back then. Now it smoking and smells bad.

Should I be overly concern for engine damage if I continue driving for a few more months til I have enough to replace or just watch for foul plugs and keep going?

Sounds like turbo seals to me. Check and see if you have shaft play, if so, rebuild it[turbo] or buy another one.

If I could get to the factory turbo, I would check for shaft play. There too much crap in the way and it hard to navigate.
