Narrative:
Holding for WX at NAS when the right engine oil pressure gauge started to fluctuate. Proceeded back to mia direct and landed without further problems. Upon landing I was advised by ATC that the right engine was smoking. I shut down the engine at that time and the smoke dissipated immediately. No sign of fire. WX was also becoming a factor at mia.
