Thanks Swedecar and everyone else...
This burning has been in issue for about 2-3 years, the smoking started more recently. At the 90K service (car has 100K now), PCV valve was found to be clogged, and was replaced at that time along with valve cover, gasket, etc (don't have the rest in front of me right now). He states that increased pressure in crank case could have cause the problem, but does not know for sure.
John....according to the mechanic he states it was very difficult to find the leak, he stated they used dye as well as a mirror, and that it was tucked in there pretty deep behind Turbo and manifold.
Looks like you guys have a variety of suggestions, maybe I'll just take it the other shop I have dealt with an have them take a look.
And SWEDE, I am in south OC, not too far from you, but not exactly down the street either!
