Steve GT Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 on boost leads you to maybe turbo seals then dudenot saying for sure but thats normally a sign of a worn turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie ryan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 check your colanthas it stated going a dirty oily colour? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawsy Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 just fitted an other turbo but car is still the same anyone no what else it could betbh you dont know what condition the turbo youve just fitted is in? so the seals could be worn on that? But could be a number of things, could be headgasket but the oil isnt under much pressure atall when draining back through the head to the sump, so the gasket would have to be blown fairly bad for it to be leaking into the combustioin chamber.It could also be valve stem seals, but this would be more noticebale on overrun and from start up.

durmz Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 i didnt personally think this, but been told recently that oil smokes blue only if its been combusted, ie got into a chamber, im not sure on this, but if its true then its not the turbo, so could be headgasket, valve stem seals, things like that.why it could have been ure pcv valve im really unsure :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
