I am embaressed to report that my smoke problems on the 582 were nothing more sinister than a sticky cable which was resulting in the autolube running at full throttle regardless of the engine revs.
The manual recommends that we clean and lubricate cables every 25 hours - I wonder how many of us do that.

Anyway - thanks for the advice

Hopefully we have all learned something.

By the way - disconnecting the autolube is dead easy and simply requires a cover plate to be placed where the pump is mounted - the guys at aviation engines can help. I have left mine in place

Glad you found the problem. At least it was a cheap fix and did not involve worn rings etc. I am sure that lots of people will remember this and use it when troubleshooting a similar problem.
