oil smoke on start up and burning smell when driving/oil consumption - Page 2

tebriel · 10-03-2012, 01:20 PM

I noticed oil consumption can also depend on driving. I burned some oil heading through the mountains with a lot of boost and then engine braking.

Since getting back I haven't burned any at all for a couple months. 10C of temp difference isn't going to change how much oil you burn.

yes, 10c won't change anything, but I think if turbo can be overheated and burn oil after that

I agree a PVC valve is cheap and easy to change! As well as a good place to start!

bako · 10-05-2012, 12:36 AM

you think turbo can't leak oil from hot side to exaust? (yes, turbo can't BURN though, it can leak

)

just want to know if such a consumption (if this is turbo related) can be seen from downpipe side when I remove it...

i had the same problem and it led to me blowing my number 2 piston and it went through my oil pan not the block. but im looking for a new engine and dont know if i can put a 2000 impreza engine in a 2002 impreza wrx

Well I replaced the turbo with a vf43 that was used, rinsed the intercooler out with gas, put a new pcv valve in and changed the oil from Mobil 1 which the po used to rotella t6 and all seems good again ( crossing fingers). We will see on start up this morning how it goes.

report back after 300 miles too.

zashoe · 10-09-2012, 03:28 AM

you should be fine now, provided you got a tune. my wrx looked like a smoke machine til i replaced the turbo. not a bit of smoke since!

itr.#1446 · 10-09-2012, 10:42 AM

Yes my car was tuned by Sti Mikey..... I also forgot to mention the next day after I got it running I made a vent to atmosphere catch can for the block to inlet and valve covers to inlet lines until I can afford something nicer, turbo put me back for alittle. I did not want to start building a film back up in the freshly cleaned intercooler.

bako · 10-14-2012, 12:23 PM

report back please

devilmademedoit · 12-13-2012, 09:28 PM

Any update on this? I have same symptoms . Gonna do compression test this weekend and if ok, setting up appointment for a leak down test. I thought it was head gaskets but now I'm second guessing myself. Hope it's not rings.

Compression test came out good, and it wasn't the turbo for i replaced that as well. I will be replacing the pvc to see of that helps

valves seals. happened to me with good compression and a couple turbo swaps
