Car smokes between shifts and on decel A buddy of mine is having these problems in a WS6. It's a 6 speed and we notice when he races it smokes between shifts and at the end when he's braking/slowing down the car is smoking a good bit. We checked and there is some oil behind the throttle body. It's a 99 with stock pcv system. Could that be the culprit or should we get into rings and seals with a leakdown?

I think I'd do a leak down test. Smoking on decel is a classic engine sign of rings that have issues.
You might try the PVC mod first, its cheap and easy but I'd be worried about the rings.
Good luck.
