my muffler aka: oil blower
my car is sick. turbo seals are blown. motor still runnin like a champ but on its edge of destruction. fuel pressure problems.
yet... i've managed to drive it for a year just fine except for oil leaks and occassional bogging and smoke.
just a few days ago... its bogging at WOT constantly and a white smoke screen blinds drivers behind me. so i pull into my garage once again and let my baby rest because its sicker than it was.
just today... i warmed her up. i walked over to the trunk to grab some tools... standing with one leg right behind the muffler. then it felt like water was spraying out of my muffler. like it was drizzling... prickling my leg. i bent over to see if its moisture or fuel. i feel my hand getting sprayed... look at my hand...
OH NO! black speckles all over my hand! i look at my leg. same thing! it looks like dried speckles of oil all over... like dots of black freckles.
i sit in my car, step on the gas... rev the motor a few times. i go back to where i was standing and i discover dry oil sprayed on the garage floor up to 5 feet away from the muffler! looks like i sprayed the floor with one of those windex bottles, except with oil.
i think my turbo has had it... and who knows what else is causing the oil to completely drain into the exhaust.
