I have heavy blue smoke coming out of the exhaust and noticed oil and some smoke(when cars hot) coming out where my downpipe flange meeets the turbo, im guessing i blew some seal on the turbo, anyone know wat cuold have gone? do i have to rebuild my turbo again?

and its not a ball bearing turbo

it might be backing up oil, check the return first.

white smoke is coolant, blue is oil. You sure its white?

silverboost

took off my intake pipe just now and theres a puddle of oil there, theres oil on both sides of the turbo, will a rebuild kit help or is it something else that went?

what kind of pcv setup are you running?

silverboost

we had that happen on a oil and water cooled turbo and the seal for the coolent was fried

your turbo seals are gone, rebuild.

check your return and feed lines. you may not have a good setup hence the seals going. Need a restrictor and a pretty straight gravity feed return line.

and if you are seeing white smoke your HG is gone or your head is lifting

i have arp head studs and the smokw is blue, srry for the mistake

silverboost

the person i bought the turbo from was burning minor amounts of oil, i rebuilt it and it was fine until now, ive been told maybe bc of my thick oil and cold temperatures this may have blown a seal, will a full rebuil kit help???
