pcv valves or turbo seals???
well you got the bypass info,im sure manta will give you a hand as for smoke when warm and at idle,might be worth doing the pcvs&related hoses,could be just oil getting back in to the intake,then go from there ;)

pcv valves or turbo seals???
boldy if you have a leak from under plenum/throttle body,a turbo bypass,will fix the leak and bypass all the under plenum feeds!not to bad a job as for smoke is it from cold idle/under load or backing off?

sloppy steering
normally the uj which connects to the rack,10 min job to change,and easy to check if yours is suspect,Check for excessive play on uj,have someone move wheel whilst you check,if theres play replace

removing oil pump cog thingy
he means crank sprocket not pulley as lymon says,the problem is when water runs down there from a leak or waterpump/thermostat removal it sticks the sprocket on,air cutting tool and chisel it off is the only way im afraid then when you fit a new one apply some lithium or copper grease so if you need to remove it in the future,it will come off fine

petrol in the oil!
you need to ring ryan ;) and as for dirty coolant,its no good cleaning the rad out as all that dirty rusty water will be running through your block/heads and water pipes,you need a proper coolant flush using an inhibitor,what will happen if you just clean the rad and top up with fresh coolant is 10miles later the water will be brown,so attach water hose to upper intake pipe with rad out and flush through. and clean the rad out properly until it runs clean

best=presence especially when modded with strosek and 99spec parts ;) worst=how the wipers swipe twice when you turn them off and smear your screen,over engineered depends if you see that as a good thing,overweight :smw:
-
gearbox oil to much?
no ;) gearbox oil is seperate to engine it could be you have dripped oil on to hot exhaust and its burning off,if the smoke is blue/oily smell then it will be engine related ;)
