No fault codes etc and my engine oil is still at max level so I don't think its leaking turbos etc.

I'm full decat with stock resonators ( could the smoke be from the resonators ? )

Smoke comes out between 3-4k rpm but it only comes out once in a while

I noticed it through video ( camera at the rear ) , then took the car for a 20min drive ( relatively hard ) as i did not know about the smoke issue . The camera was to record my exhaust sound for YouTube then i noticed the smoke again

What could this be ? If it was my turbo seals, valve cover etc then i assume my engine oil level should have at least dropped a little since i drove the car alot the past 3 weeks.

Any idea ? Could it be from my IC ?

Im on BM3 stage 2 93 Oct
This thread had a similar issue and it was the turbos.
