Blue Smoke HELP

[Constant_Project21]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but oil in your intercooler, usually means something was goofy with your turbo. Oil's not supposed to be in your intercooler, and could explain the smoke, as you couldve been burning oil from your blown turbo.

As for getting the oil out, just take the core off and clean it out. 10mins and a can of brake cleaner, and it will be good as new. You will wanna get that oil out, or else you might be chasing down a problem that doesn't exist anymore (by that I mean, if you're turbo WAS bad, and has since been fixed, you may still have the same symptoms).

Gasoline works also in the intercooler to clean it I heard.

The oil return has to be perfect, that could be causing it, if it isn't good enough, especially after high rpms or boosting it.

Putting oil in your cylinder while doing a compression test is useless. You have dished pistons, so filling that dish in with fluid is always going to raise the compression readings. If it was 100% rings causing the excessive smoking, then it would probably smoke like that all the time.

Ordered new oil return line kit. Will be dumping the intercooler today, and my catch can. PS thanks for all the help on sat DR. Shane!

do a motor flush with cleaner, you may have a stuck ring...

Blown turbo seal most likely.

Was it just the seal? or is the thrust plate wore out which caused the seal to leak? Sounds like the garrett I have...
