I know smoking diesel questions are probably as common as what is the best oil or best tires but, I ask as I know experts on here can hopefully lead in the right direction.

My car is a 1982 300SD with 122,535 miles. New Bosch injectors, did a diesel purge, new valve stem seals and adjusted valves. I have not done a compression test as I need to get to correct size fitting for my gauge.

The issue is a constant smoking problem that from the pictures I can assume is oil and not coolant. It smokes all the time and more with added throttle.

My questions are, with the amount of oil in the exhaust is this from bad turbo seals? (I have a kit to rebuild the turbo) Worn valve guides? Worn piston rings? Something else?
