    I have a 93 volvo with an M11. Recently under load it suddenly began to pour white smoke from the exhaust. So much smoke I thought I had fire going on. The truck still ran fine and had power so I limped it back to the shop. Fluid levels were fine and looked good. Could this be an injector problem even though the truck ran fine?

    I have had a turbo seal do that.
    Under boost it released oil in to exhaust.
    The smoke was a off white and on a Mack with a garret.

    Looks like it is the turbo seal. Thanks for all of your replies. Much appreciated.
