    Is it bad?

    Gotcha...makes sense. I'm actually due for an oil change coming up here in the next couple hundred miles so I might just try some Synth..

    Is it bad?

    I would but I heard that Synthetic is less forgiving and finds leaks much easier. It has a slow drip as it is...last thing I need is a major oil leak...

    Is it bad?

    Yep, I have a turbo timer...and I usually don't boost unless I have some heat in the motor! Whats a good oil pressure? Don't they say its around 10psi per 1k rpm?

    Burning white smoke. pics included.

    keep an eye on oil and coolant levels and also keep and eye on the temp. Besides that, it should be fine until you can get around to replacing it.

    Oil leaks when hot

    Wow! I'm impressed with your post! If only everyone could post questions like this! Now to the help. Its doubtfull that there is any oil coming from inside the IC piping itself. Its probablly dripping down from somewhere above it and landing on the pipe. Also, are you for certain that it...

    BHG! Now that I have that off my chest...

    2300 to fix a HG...ouch To me it sounds like your bottom end is pretty solid. If your short on cash, then just replace/deck the head now. Then down the road, you can build up the bottom.
