What is this burnt oil? Picture

bigdirty · Jul 4, 2012

Looks like burnt bubbly oil. White smoke caused this. The turbo spins freely by hand, no binding. No shaft play.

Oil seal in turbo leaking ?

TonyG · Jul 4, 2012

Yea I'd say a turbo seal is going bad, what's the inside of the intercooler pipes look like? Pull the boot at turbo and check it out.... Is it giving a constant white haze?

If there is no shaft play then the turbo may not be bad. White smoke could be a lot of different things.

Poss CCV problem, injector?

bigdirty · Jul 18, 2012

ccv is dumped and injectors test good elvis. just dont want to drop 1000 for a turbo and not fix the smoke problem. if i take the turbo apart i will be able to see whats leaking right?
