(took those fog lights off right away and still haven't had $ for paint)

I'm a senior, the only rotary owner on my skool and make daily sacrifices

to the rotary gods to help hold it together https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

But it didn't werk, just blew a seal in my turbo so if ne one has

an S5 turbo and manifold (pref with gasket) or just the s4 turbo in good

condition let me know or those little plastic things that hold up the rear carpet

,tryed some legos and it didn't werk to well lol.



(P.S. if u live in South Jersey and wanta get your car checked u want nothing to do

with Mapleshade mazda charged me $300 just to look at it and gave me a bs estmate

for new engine and turbo for $11k and were going to charge $680 to replace the

oil pressure sending unit which just unbolts from the side of the engine.)

Thanks people i'm still trying to defently confirm if it is the turbo seal. It only smokes after sitting for a while and smokes alot less if it was parked facing down hill. Is a white smoke starts of faint then grows thick to the point James Bond would be jealous if its just left to idle. I get water condencing in the ends of the pipes. It contines to smoke for sometime then it get just starts getting faint again. I smell burning coolent near the turbo and the turbo clovered in a thin of somekind fluid i used to have an oil leak from the oil pressure sending unit(fixed) and mayb slightly from front cover(untouched).



135000 or so miles on it

supposedly the turbo was rebuilt at 90,000



i just wanta get your guys' opinions on what it is. Here is mine

I think it might be a small hole some where in the turbo while its

sitting coolent is collecting in the turbo and gets burned in the first minutes or so

till its all gone and the amount that is leaking threw while driving is small enought to

not be seen.
