I STARTED MY 88 T2 TO LET IT WARM UP. AFTER ABOUT 5MIN IT STARTED TO BLOW BLUE/WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAIL PIPES AND SMOKE COMMING FROM MY TURBO AREA. I SHUT THE CAR OFF TO CHECK THE OIL AND I FOUND WHITE RESIDUE ON THE DIP STICK. THE OIL WAS LOW SO I TOPPED IT UP. MY COOLANT WAS GOOD AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE NOT ROUGH AT ALL. ONCE I TOPPED UP THE OIL AND RAN IT FOR A WHILE THE SMOKE FROM THE TAIL PIPES STOPPED, BUT IT WAS STILL SMOKING FROM THE TURBO. I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE TO SEE IF THE TURBO WAS STILL WORKING, AND IT WAS JUST FINE. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A GOOD HALF HOUR OR SO THE SMOKE WAS GONE. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN???

possibly oil seals going on the turbo.... could be a ton of different things though..........

i like vosko's answer :bigthumg:
has there been any work done to the car recently? mike |
I Think the white goop is kinda normal. I get alot sometimes under my oil cap. :squirt:
|
yah the white goop is condensation not burning off all the way, it means change your oil, or let the car warm up longer
mike |
That is correct. You need to worry when your oil starts looking like a mocha cappucino.
|
its almost physically impossible for a rotary to mix the oil and coolant like a piston engine
mike |
i like voskos answer too
|
if you are mixing oil and water......rotor housing is cracked..bye bye motor https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/flamed.gif
|
yet vosko's answer is most likely the problem
