I just got this car a month ago and it's done this a few times. I always start my cars up and let them warm up before I drive them. Well here lately I'll start the car up and it doesn't smoke or anything. Once it's been running for 3-5 minutes it will start smoking pretty bad which I'm pretty sure its from burning oil. Once you drive the car for a few minutes it clears up and stops smoking.

My first thought was that it was the rings but it smokes a #### ton sometimes. Then one of my buddies mentioned the turbo seal as his went out in his turbo (but his smoked all the time). This is my first experience with a turbo car so I'm not too familiar with them or the common issues associated with them. Does this sound like it could be a seal in the turbo? If it is the turbo seal can I swap that out myself? The entire turbo kit doesn't have very many miles on it.

not a turbo seal, like you said it would do it all the time, the smoke must be white right? my guess is it sounds like your drain your oil might be thick once it warms up the oil thins out and then makes it to the pan, the oil would go threw the seals to your exhaust.

 

:withu:

Cold oil too thick to drain properly from turbo, leaks past seal into downpipe. Been there, done that.

once warmed up, it burns off.

 

So I take it I should just deal with it?

 

Run thinner oil ya hump

 

hahahaahahaaa

Some people just don't get a clue when people tell them things lol.

 

And to think his screen name starts with DON ya no don there.

what weight do you run?

 

Sure thing, boss!

 

What weight are you currently running?

It really doesn't matter what someone else ran on a completely different set-up. You have to go off of what you are currently running and see if something thinner wouldn't work better with your car.

 

he don't even know he just bought this car so that idea is out the door, the tool should just pour in some 10-40 and go from there.

 

about 260. I could lose a few lbs

 

Wasn't talking to you..... :clem:

 

You and me both!

 

Good one...and next time try to post your retarded questions like this one in the newbie section where it belongs...but seeing as how you couldn't even get the clue to run thinner oil in your POS stock block I don't think you will!

 

Ouch i thought rachel ray gave you some good eating tips on the food netty

 

How the fuck was it a retarded question? The almighty SJ didn't know the answer and I'm pretty sure your ass didn't know it either. By thinking I was talking to you you're the fucking idiot that obviously has no clue how a message board works. So why don't you go suck another Asian cock and get the fuck off my jock!?!
