Hey i put a oil cooler on my car today that was running from my turbo to my oil pan, well the lines they sent me was smaller then the one that i had well i thought it would work but when i started up my car it started smokin like hell from the exhaust. i think that the lines are too small and its not pushing enough oil out and causing it to leak out the exhaust? too much pressure?

how could it have blow by out the exhaust when its never had it befor? but when i put the oil cooler on it does?

you cant put an oil cooler on the return side of a turbo, it is not pressureized, it works off of gravity. you need to put the cooiler somewhere with pressure, most people get an adapter that fits behind the oil filter.

you may have just blown the seals on the turbo.

So if i just take it off the oil return side it wont leak oil out the exhaust side no more right?

Kamin

uh you need to hook the return of the turbo to the oil pan.

You put it in the wrong spot. DO NOT start your car or plan on driving it until you fix the problem. You could be lucky if it stop smoking.
