busted oil seals?
Hi,
when I start my car it doesnt smoke at all. Then about 5 sec later it will start smoking. The smoking isnt that bad.
If I redline it, the smoke stays the same. It doesnt get worse.
Its not smoking that much but any way I can make sure that my seals are dead?

What year is your car? My suggestion would be to disable the OMP as best you can, most times you can't disable it 100%, then run pre-mix and see if it smokes. If it doesn't then your OMP must be metering too much oil. Aside from that I can't think of a way to figure out which seals are the culprit.

you have a mechanical OMP and they're fairly reliable. Open the Oil fill cap, and see if smoke if coming out of there. Since you're is a turbo, i'm gonna say that it's the seals in there. They go out more often than the OMP going bad, or the oil seals going out.

I revved the car to 5K and there is almost no smoke coming out. When I let off the gas tho, the smoke comes back again.
I tried again at 6K and same results.
