LarQ98V Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Just saw a post on the GTR club site sayin dat oil overfill mite be the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 This is for future reference as well as helping you LarQ.....A little oil coming out of the dump valve is normal, if its an excessive amount then it could be due to the turbo seals having gone or the piston rings being excessively worn. With the dump valve in the standard position the oil will come out there if either of these are gone but you would normally notice blue smoke from the exhaust too due to the oil burning through it.If a breather filter is put on the rocker you can rule out which it is (if either), if the oil stops coming out of the dump valve and just comes out the breather filter then the rings may be worn, if the oil still comes out of the dump valve but not the breather then its pretty much conclusive that the turbo seals are gone.
