Okay I have been thinkin about this for about a week now. I brought my car in for full body work and paint but on the way I was gettin on it and blew the turbo oil seals out, (aftermarket turbo) im running high oil pressure and I dident realize I needed a restrictor in the oil line. So im goin down the highway then it sputters then :
op:: smoke/oil pouring out the exhaust ppl thought there was an accident they were locking up the brakes in back of me with all the smoke. I pull over the DP is full of oil exc. The strange part that has me worried is when I turn it off and go to start it again the starter has a strange sound like its struggling to crank the engine over like the batt is low or something! I drove it to the paint shop (a mile after the incident) and it seems to drive fine except for the smoke but the starter still turned over slow! I had oil pressure the whole time on my guage
Could it be turning over slow because the turbo is full of oil and the exhaust is getting choked up trying to spin the fins? or maybe its spitting oil into the intake from the coldside?
