Hey guys,
Help me to diagnose this here. The car was smoking like crazy, so I had the valve guide seals replaced, and changed the weight of the oil to 15W-50, and it still smokes badly. Now we've narrowed it down to two things. Fried piston rings, or bad turbo seals.
The motor has about 4-5000 miles on it, and runs strong.
The turbo is basically new, it sat for a year or so before use, but runs strong also.
One thing is that when we sat the turbo on it's tubine housing, it started to leak oil out of the back, and onto the floor. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance guys,
Eric
