Still White Smoke?

[patshea098]

ok well ive checked my coolant, and no oil spotting, the white smoke seems to of gotten worse.
when i come to a stop sometimes the white smoke is blown by my window by wind and i feel like is smell oil

so would this indicate oil into the cylinders via bad injector cups? or still leave it open to oil through turbo or what....

what should i check next before sending a oil sample???

What did your oil analysis say? Oil burns lightish blue/white. Water is white with no blue. What does your exhaust smell like? Coolant?

I would start with the turbo first. Pull your tubes at the turbo and the intercooler and see if there really wet with oil. If so then the turbo needs to be looked at closer. If not then the injector cups are your best place to look. just my .02

oil is white with a light tint of blue but mostly white id say.

um i wanna say it smells like burnt oil or something...not so much coolant. but like i siad when in the shop my oil was donw 2 quarts!! but agina....2 months ago when this first started my coolant was low....so what are the odds that its both?! but my coolant level is fine now and hasnt decreased and the oil was just replaced last friday so i cant really check the level yet.

hrmm. still want to say injectors. even though its young. But a easy check is to pull the tube past the air cleaner going to the turbo and then wiggling the turbo wheel to see if it has any bearing play. after that.... what I said earlier in the thread.

Is there any oil in the tail pipe? You might have a bad shaft seal in the turbo which is blowing oil out the turbine housing and out the exhaust.

im going to check the tubes around the turbo today for oil, and bearing play.

whats the easiest way to check the tailpipe for oil? just check the exit? or should i detach from downpipe or what?

 

[DaveBen]

Just look at the end of the tail pipe.

IF oil is present in the tailpipe, should it be wet or dry soot that still smells like oil?

 

[DaveBen]

Should be wet oil mixed with soot.
