Blue Smoke HELP

[Cammaxon]

Im getting a lot of blue smoke out of my exhaust under boost, some will come out during boost when i let off the throttle there's a momentary delay and a poof of it will follow. A little more randomly when in vacuum. When its parked and i rev it, NO smoke. It is only happening when the turbo is in use.

HELP?

Blown turbo seal most likely.

Check for shaft play on the turbo, sounds like what MattD said.

Yeah, thats what my scm61 was doing, and that thing cut a 1/16" grove in the compressor housing. If its not the turbo it would likely be your piston rings. But usually you want to suspect the turbo first.

ahhh :( julien just took the turbo off my car, said every thing was fine, replaced the exhaust wheel. Said the Oil return line is too small/restrictive. dear lord and baby jesus please don't let it be the piston rings?

do a compression check and post up the results, also repaint/debodykit your car (if thats your car as your avatar.) could be the fiberglas/poly on fire. LOL just givin ya shit.

I dont have the stuff to do a compression check, maybe Twack will be real nice and come down to winona? and instead of debodykiting it, how about change my name to Brian Earl Spilner?

I just learned how to check compression....

4- 3- 2- 1
170-168-168-150

Put a cap full of oil into cyl 1 (from the spark plug hole) turned it over for about 10 sec, cyl 1 went UP to 170. RING?

ALSO, KINK in my return pipe, possible cause of oil smoke. I'm going to remove it as sooon as i finish my psych hw.

[Matt D.]

Low compression won't cause your car to smoke when under boost. That kink isn't doing any help.

Oil return is off, "kink" wasnt half as bad as i thought it was, i'm not sure how much it was even restricting it. There was a mess of oil all under the car however. The oil definitely wasnt making its way completely down the return but that could be because there was no gasket on the turbo to the return...

If i have oil in my intercooler, will it eventually push its way out? or will it just sit in there for ever? (until i take it off and dump it out?)
