I need some help badly My god damn car is spitting oil from the front rotor like it was an oil pump, I noticed a bunch of oil leaking from my turbo, and I couldn't find any loose connections, and I saw it was coming from the manifolds, so I took the turbo off, and noticed my rear rotor exhaust port was a grey color, and my front rotor was pitch black. It wasn't wet at all (I guess that's from the car running) So, with the turbo removed, and with the EGI fuse pulled, I cranked it over a few times lightly and gazed in horror as oil spewed out of my front rotor. Anybody have any ideas why this would happen? It comes out in so much excess it's not even funny. And it's only on the front rotor

 

Sounds like an oil control ring went bye-bye. Look on the bright side, though - oil burners tend to clean up really nicely when being rebuilt

Not when they just got rebuilt :-(

 

Er, ouch.

Time to give Kevin a call, SonicRaT?

Well, I didnt do it, but...

Sonic, since the car has been running, did it ssmoke a lot? I cant think of anything that would happen all at once to cause this, really. Maybe you left out an oil seal spring? Maybe you didnt get one seated well(rubber ring)? Those are the only 2 real possibilities, unless a housing is cracked somewhere letting oil into the chambers, I have sen this once before.

IT is also possible, that if the car sat for a while, without being run, that enough oil drained down (especially if you reused your old oil seals?) and is now being thrown around out the exhaust? I dunno, hard to say.

 

Well, it smokes like a forest fire when it's started, and it just spews it out like crazy. Is there anything else that could cause this other than the oil seals?
