Ok I had my LS turbo running strong for about 2 years but now somethings wrong... I know for a fact that my turbo oil seals are bad and oil is leaking into the exhaust side.....But i need a car to go to school so I've added a oil restrictor and re-did the oil return line...smokes a little less but the same problem still happenz....WHICH IS: when I first turn on the car and begin driving it, It drives fine ( staying out of boost of course ) but after awhile on the road my car started to bog and struggles to stay on.....

Only thing i notice when i pop my hood is that some radiator fluid is leaking out of my radiator cap...could this cause my car to bog when its warmed up??

replace your rad cap and go from there

chck under oil cap for super milky /curd possible blown headgasket

Glove

the radiator cap should never be leaking, if anything it would be boiling over the resevoir bottle,

change the rad cap, or check the mating part on your rad

pressure test the coolant system. You probably have a blown head gasket.

How do I do that?

i say check ur oil if u see it is a dark green color then its coolent and u need a head gasket.I have an ls and had the same problem and also make sure u dont use a cometic head gasket they suck.

What's wrong with Cometic? I'm gonna use on on my LS/V set up, and my tuner reccomended cometic.

please dont get cometic u will save ur self money and time call golden egle trust me. lot better quality. I have a 94 ls and i have gone throw 3 cometic gaskets.

Hmmm checked my oil when i did my oil return... no sign of green color at all... and i checked under my oil cap, and theres no sign milky curd or w/e......you think its the radiator cap??? or just the bad turbo?

srmofo

errr....operator error....have you checked to see if your head and block are true....
they both are quality gaskets, GE uses honda head gaskets, they just modify them in house

coolant in oil will NOT cause a dark green color, it will however make it look like a chocolate milk shake/curds^^^that kid doesn't know what hes talking about^^^

replace your rad cap, not because it is your problem but because it is bad... we need more info to help you though, have you checked for spark, what about fuel pressure when its acting up. check those then post back up

K im taking a pic of my oil i will post up we will see smart one.

take your pics coolant mixing with oil during engine operation causes diarrhea, not dark green oil.

Rad cap may be bad but that's not the problem.

PhantomX

Yea i just checked my oil.... looks like diarrhea.... pulled my sparkplugs and Cylinders(from left to right) 1,2,3 had small amount of oil on it while cylinder 4 was dry???? Motor still turns on fine

Headgasket blown Im guessing?

You need to fix the head gasket quickly.The antifreeze in the oil will ruin it's lubricating ability.You will destroy the engine.

Ok, picking up a Fel-pro headgasket, then flushing out my coolant and oil...lets see what happendz...
