Default OH MG, NO Engine Oil??

I parked everyday on my driveway, and i know it's not going to be accurate if the driveway is not a flat road
i parked on the road today for few hours, then i went to check my oil, OMG, NOTHING!!! I mean really nothing!! nothing shows on my oil stick !!!

i was like FFFXXXKKK!! I immediately went to change my oil
those drained oil doesn't even have like 1 Q !!
I changed my oil around 4500 KM before, and i have no idea where those oil went !!!
I checked my compression right the way, everything shows up fine
NO white or blue smoke out of my exhaust

What's the problem??

It's a Greddy Turbo Sohc
Thanks !

Probably a leak somewhere. Check your oil return line and the oil feed. Check the seals on the turbo.

i checked everything, nothing leaks
if it leaked, it would have showed some kind of oil on the ground on where i park everyday, right??

yeah same here, I had the same problem too. Unfortunetly the condition was worse. I ended up spinning a rod bearing because it that (long story). I had the same problem. No oil leaks and everything. Change oil not even 2000 miles ago, when problem occured, check oil. No oil !!!I think it was my turbo seal. Probably was eating up the oil. Now I am saving up money for LS motor and upgrading to T3/t4.... hopefully soon.

if you're not leaking oil anywhere, and where you park you car daily and don't see oil spot, it's probably the turbo seal. Not sure, don't know much about turbo. There nothing else I can think of. I check everything, I would never thought myself of doing something stupid like that. *** TIME TO GET A OIL PRESSURE GUAGE...

naww, I really don't think so. That's why I am so confused !!!. Dunno what to tell you bro. When I am getting ready to take the motor out. I will probably give a Gazillion point inspection for oil leaks. If you find out what wrong, then let me know.

The oil has to be going somewhere. If you are saying that there is no smoke coming out of your exhaust then your not burning oil from the turbo. If your turbo seal was bad, you would have tons of smoke. It could your valve steam seals. They may not be sitting properly, so your burnign up all the oil. The oil has to go somewhere, so either its a leak, turbo seal, valve steams seals.

you could be burning oil, it could be your rings, do a leak down test or have some one do one. also check your oil pan, it could be leaking and burning on your exhaust like mine, hehe

i have the same problem too. but it started before my turbo was installed. so i think it must be the valve seals.

You should take a look at the charge pipe side of the turbo. Take off a pipe or two and if it's covered with oil your turbo seals are gone.

Let me know if you need to rebuild your TD04 because I have a rebuild kit I never used. It's rad and the instructions are color photo.
