	Upon landing at recieving facility helipad, crew noticed increased
	smoke from engine exhaust and pilot noticed fluxuating oil pressures
	begining during cool down period. The pilot immediately shut down the
	aircraft and notified maintenence. 
	
	Initial inspection revealed restricted flow at the engine oil sump
	return line due to carbon build-up, which caused oil to be forced
	into the combustion section, increasing the normal level of smoke
	output from the exhaust. Maintenance serviced the engine and returned
	the aircraft to service.
