Oil Problem! Help Please
Monday, February 14, 2005 12:22 PM
Okay when I start my car it starts smoking through the exhaust. It's burning oil. But is the turbo that is burning the oil. It's not in the cylinder. Any help?

do you have an oil feed line restrictor or no?? that could def be a possibility... or just might be bad seals in the turbo..

also if u put a gauge in u can always tell what pressure is going to the turbo. you need to turn it down to i think around 35-40 psi. i think your engine is pushing around 75 psi put im not 100% sure on that

By the looks of your oil return it looks a lil small should be a 3/8 inside diameter and have it go straight down to the tube dont' have extra hose curving causes build up and causes blow by. That would be the first thing I would check.

Okay I fixed the oil problem. I put a regulator and guage on the feed line, I guess it was just too much pressure. Thanks.

I would also look into your return cause that might of been the problem, the oil getting built up in the return line pushing it back up. Probably wasn't getting too much pressure just the return line is restricting.
