Hi Guys.

If someone could please give some expertise here.

After a track session I pull in and the car doesnt smoke nor does it smoke on the track, then after about 3 mins of still idling and water is about 100'C white smoke starts coming out the pipe and smells like oil. It starts smoking pretty much as the fans kick in.

I have a suspision its the turbo.

Any help or previous experience appreciated.

Thanks,
BR

 

usually blue smoke is oil and white smoke is coolant. You sure you don't have a blown colant seal?

 

Well thats what I am trying to establish, thing is I have never blown one so dont know what to look for. How would the coolant seal just suddenly give in??

 

It could be the turbo seals...

 

Are you sure you didn't just suck a bunch of oil into the intake through the PCV? At idle/vacuum the car will keep pulling the oil through and burning it. On sustained boost it should go away. If that's the case you can clean out your intake tract or just let it go away with time.

Guys, thanks for the help. I am replacing the TD06 with a HKS T04Z in 3 weeks so I will know if its the turbo. In the meantime I am gonna check for bubbles in the coolant.

 

You ever found out what it was?
