DD 2's do smoke a lot. With the lag from your HX-40, and an automatic, a lot of smoke, pre boost would sound normal to me.

If no hard starts or rough idle.... I suspect injectors are ok. Did too much smoke just start to happen??

Im guessing you can see the fuel in the oil and you have to drain the pan when you do this? I though diesel was oil based so wouldnt it mix right in with the oil?
