Any Ideas, Turbo question

Post by TuHandy »

I have oil collecting in the tubes coming out of the turbo going into the intercooler and back out to the throttle body. I can undo any of these tubes and wipe out excessive oil. The only reason I checked was because the car would blow a puff of blue smoke on start up, I do not notice the smoke any other time. It used approx half quart of oil in 3000 miles.

I did remove turbo and rebuild it with a turbo rebuild kit (new bearings, seals ect.). I did not see anything wrong with the stuff I replaced. Sure enough its still doing it. I think its getty worse now. :x

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
