I need reassurance.
A year ago I placed my Supra on Jacks due to it spewing oil from the dipstick and pressurizing the catch can.
I spent 1150.00 on a jdm motor, a year without my baby, and 2 days of my life doing the swap.
I got her back together and after a spirited drive last night opened the hood upon smoke seeing pouring from underneath.
OIL.
On the turbo that had sprayed out of the dipstick.
IT's the same thing.
What's the same?
The turbo.
I was running a 60-1 with a stock elbow and I hypothesize that I destroyed a seal due to the back pressure.
I now have a hi flow elbow on but the damage is done albeit less pronounced.
I always thought of myself as a halfway decent mechanic but this is damned embarassing.
Has anyone else had oil spew out of the dipstick?
I would really like to hear a similar experience as it seems to be the only solution that makes sense.
.....that and it will justify my purchasing this T04b turbo kit that I'm bidding on.
