Smoking Car

Post by lysergic007 »

I have a 1990 740 Turbo GLE and it smokes like crazy. It does not use that much oil. Its not gas or water it smells a little like oil not to sure what it is. I was wondering if the Turbo would leak and cause it to smoke like that. Thanks for any help.

I was wondering if I could rebuild the turbo, and what kind of a kit would I need?
