whats up guys.. just a few questions... my car gets the regular little puff of smoke on first startup then it clears up and idles with no smoke at all, when iam under boost i get no smoke at all, when i let off the gas i get no smoke at all.. the only time my cars smokes a blueish film is when it idles or sits for 5-10mins, after searching it seems like i need a turbo rebuild... but my t78 only has approx 3000miles on it would the oil seal go that quiclkly??? any other ideas or things i should check? also when i unscrew the oil filler cap it takes longer to start smoking.... overall the car runs great no decrease in power, no coolant leak or anything like that.. just when it sits or idles at a very long light(5mins) the car starts 2 smoke

anyone have any ideas?

 

Mine does the same thing if my oil temps are above 220 deg F. It would do it more with 10w-30 than it does with 15w-40. Now my oil temps don't get that high because my radiator fan partially covers the oil cooler. When it sits at idle for a extended period of time the coolat temps goes up and turns on my fan cooling off the water and oil at the same time.

 

how vertical is your oil drain line?

 

Ill have 2 take a peek at it 2moro, y would that affect my turbo smoking problem??

 

it could back up with oil and then push pass the oil seals and burn in the exhaust.

 

Vent the crankcase/install an oil catchcan.

 

Thanx, iam on my way back to ny trailoring the car now ill do what eeveryone suggested this weekend and hopefully that fixes the problem.. I would really hate to have 2 send the turbo out 2 be rebuilt after only 3000miles or so
