So I need to bounce something off everyone, see if my logic holds up.
I was working on the car today in the shop and it sat basically idling (and the occasional rev) for about 10-20 minutes. Water temp, AFR, oil pressure and temps were fine.
then it started smoking like na SOB around the downpipe and out the exhaust and leaving watery soot on the ground and some oil at the back side of the motor under the turbo.
Now, the car STILL runs perfect, water, oil pressure and temp is perfect. Makes 20" of vac at an idle (norm is 19-20"). I need to let it cool enough to pull the plugs (I JUST put fresh ones in before starting it today) to see what they show.
When it sits for 20 minutes or so then you start it, it smokes bad for a while then as the water temps come up to running temp it damn near stops smoking.
Sounds like blown turbo seals doesn't it?
