When ever i run my car hard i seem to get smoke outta the back of my engine bay. It seems to be comming from where the tranny and block meet. Seems to be oil burning


any ideas?


the turbos dont seem to be having any problems

That used to happen to mine - oil leak. Don't know where it was from though. Since I got the engine rebuilt, problem solved.

Just get in there and check in out from top & bottom with good light source and find the leak. It is probably dripping on to the exhaust components and burning.

Rear main seal, probably. The oil then drips on the exhaust and smokes. The seal is not really hard to replace, though you do have to remove the transmission and clutch/flywheel.

yea i was thinking rear main seal, it smokes more when i stay at high rpm's

It's most likely oil dripping from the secondary turbo on to your precat/downpipe. Get under the car and take a look.

Another possible source is a damaged oil metering line, as these pump more oil at higher rpm..

Bowen

Would that cause my oil pressure to jump around when i am open throttle in higher rpm's or is that normal

Depends what you mean by "jump around". The oil pressure will increase with the RPM but it's fairly linear.
