Ok, so the other day after the car sat for nearly 3 months i start it up.. take it easy, try to get out all the cob webs, etc..



before i changed the oil or anything i took it for a spin. Seemed to be going well so i got it into boost a little, about 3lbs... when i got to iluvmy88's house we look under the hood to find oil all over the drivers side of the car. Well we couldnt figure out where it came from, so we put more oil in and off i went back to my house. Well i cleaned it up, etc.. then took the turbo off for other reasons.. lol.. tonight we put everything back together and i took it out for a spin. A short cruise, turned up everything being normal. So i take a longer cruise, this time getting into about 7lbs of boost. Well right after i did that i pulled over to check if oil spit out. Sure enough it did. So i drive home ... (and btw: were not talking a little oil.. i mean total soakage!) And examine it a little closer. Find out the oil is shooting out of the oil filler neck vent! Then i look at my turbo, and there is oil seeping out all over. My question is this.. did i blow my oil seals? The car did sit for 3 months, so its quite possible. But has anyone seen anything like this that WASNT blown oil seals?



Thanks!

i think it might be like a plugged pcv or something. if you pressureize the oil pan it will shoot oil everywhere

think that would cause it to burst out the turbo too?

j9fd3s

yep, it will come out the easiest places. it also can do this if its overfilled

i'll go out and check in a minute. I know the pcv on the oil filler neck is vented to the air, and oil shot out of it big time ... but its been vented to the air for along time with no problem. I will check the other one.

when my pcv was clogged my car smoked like mad. People would be like "hey!!! Your car is on fire!!!"
