inchman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 hi all a few weeks ago my 300tdi 90 blew the head gasket, fixed that and all seemed well. Since the head gasket change it has been a bit smokey (oily smell) on start up but clears its self after a few miles. I thought this was valvestem oil seals, but it seems to be gettin worse. Yesterday i noticed a pool of oil below one of the joints in the exhaust, it looks like there's oil getting into the exhaust system. has anybody any ideas.. Is my turbo fecked.##cheers Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophers1247 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 sounds like turbo seals you wouldnt get oil pooling in your exhaust from valve stem seals. remove your intake to the turbo and check for play in the impeller there should be a little up and down and almost no in and out play but if the impeller hits the turbo casing the turbo is u/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
