soo I’ve finally gotten my car together yesterday after 2 months of downtime
sooo
everything is attached, fired up, I might have put alittle bit too much oil
white smoke everywhere and oil is comming out of the turbo downpipe… soo bascically if my exhaust was attached, oil would be leaking inside of it.
and I mean a long long time… its not those cold start up white smoke
it smells like something is burning on the stove
I messed up my head gasket?
soo
I did another oil change, comes clean w/ no water/coolant in the oil
soo if I blew a head gasket, woudln’t there be coolant in the oil?
I put it less oil now… at the middle mark.
but white smoke still comes out
I think I have an oil leak at the return oil line from the turbo, but still
the white smoke is coming out of the exhaust, not anything burning on the engine/turbo
any any any any idea?S?S?S`1

ps. this is a 88 200sx w/ a ca18et w/ SR t25 turbo w/ volvo intercooler/rad I dind’t have any problem like this before the downtime
I really need the help. I spent soo much time on this car and now finally when I get things done, she throws this at me
the volvo rad (fixed, ty ) dones’t have any rad cap, however, there is some oil residue in the rad resevoir, but that could be b/c I didnt’ clean properly… there isn’t any significan, like alot of oil residue… but I can see some
your turbo is bunk… it’s spitting oil. i just replaced mine for the same reason, and no more white clouds.
the bolts on the compressor housing were seized so i couldn’t actually get the turbo open to look at the oil seals, and i’m guessing by the amount of shaft play the bearing was boinked too.
White smoke = coolant. Could still be the head gasket but it’s not enough to see it in the oil as yet as it’s just getting burned. It make take a few min’s for the coolant to show up in your oil so doing a change and checking the new stuff without running the car may not be accurate.
Take your spark plugs out and see if they have oil, coolant or both on them. They should be dry.
Could also be the seals in your turbo and that’s where your burning the coolant and leaking the oil. Check the intake side of the turbo for oil or coolant both in the piping and at the impeller.
Let me know what happens and if you still need help, I’ll for sure try to.
dude! that’s boink! the turbo I just bought the cpressore housing is seized too… but damn… my car never had this problme before, not until I put the “new” turbo in
dang it… and I just bought this from a fellow member here…
