smoking from engine / oil loss

Green7mgte · 07-27-2010, 02:51 PM

high guys problem with smoking on left side of engine twords the front and oil loss.

I removed my intercooler pipes and found a small amount of oil leading into the intercooler. also a trace amount in the accordion hose. and the 3000 pipe. so I know its time for my turbo to be rebuilt. But I don't see my turbo with only showing trace amounts of oil leakage creating a plume of smoke creeping from under my hood whenever I shut my car down.

smoke is comming from left side (turbo side) of the engine Near the Front behind the thermostat housing. any suggestions on were to go from here for proper diagnostics and replacement. Im leaning twords blown oil seals? any post you have bookmarked please pass my way as I am currently searching through the pages.

can we also go over the possibility of a clogged pcv? But I don't really see any of my air hoses being clogged. its possible tho.

as always, thanks for any input and guidance.
thanks in advance
