FlattopMike Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Could be lots of things but best bet would be the turbo oil seal is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostandmuscle Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 take off the intake pipe to the turbo and see how much you can wiggle the shaft.. i bet you it needs a rebuild!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightrider56 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 thx a mil fellas....it seems i found some oil leaking out the downpipe side of tubo and when i took off filter there was oil in it also....i just got another turbo but no auto parts where i live have the 2 gaskets that go to it, can i use high temp gasket maker? or can anyone tell me where to order these gaskets...i dont know their names but one is going from downpipe to turbo, and the other is going from intake to turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 your problem is crankcase pressure blowing oil into the turbo inlet and it runs back down into the filter, it happens all the time and the stuff you see dripping on the exhaust side it water or excess fuel mixed with exhaust crap and it just looks like oil go to the dealer and get a new pcv valve and take your separator off and soak it, shake it, rinse it, soak it some more rinse it and put it back on. and you may look into some new valve seals but try that first its cheap, like $5 and you need to do it anyway no matter what the problem really is, clean the hoses out that run from the valve cover to the separator and the one from the separator to the accordion hose (turbo inlet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The valve seals are also less than 2 years old as I replced them when I did the JVE. It's probably as Indiana explained above and a new PCV valve should fix it. Some people have used CrankVents with success here on this forum, but I never tried them so I can't say. btw, how high where you boosting? hth, Julio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 if its white smoke, and its hard to tell what the color is but put a rag over the tail pipe and then sniff it and see if it smells like coolant, hopefully not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
