Burning oil
So my built b18c block is burning oil but only at idle. Under full boost everything seems to be fine but when im at idle i get lots of smoke coming out my exhaust. Any suggestions? I checked my charge pipes to see if my turbo was blowing oil through it and it seems like all pipes before intercool have a very slight coat of oil in them but after the intercooler they're all clean.. could it just be my turbo seals going out ?

Re: Burning oil
I don't think i put to much oil into the motor though. And for your case you kinda stop burning after 5 seconds but i keep it burning constantly during idle. I'm really really really hoping its my turbo and not my blocks =(. Gotta run the scary compressions test tomorrow

Re: Burning oil
Yeah i'm sure its oil because its blue smoke....Today i popped off the filter on my turbo and i see oil around the shaft and a pretty good amount that i'm sure shouldn't be there. So i think it might be the turbo guys. Gonna do compression check anyway because i started to scare myself a lil to much. Thanks people of HT
