I checked the other topics in this forum for info, but if I missed one that explains my problem I don't mind being set straight.
My supra has lost almost 2 quarts of oil since I last changed it on 3-27. It doesn't burn any on cold start, but after the motor warms up I can smell oil burning in the exhaust fumes. When I take off from a stop a little puff of bluish smoke peeks out of the muffler. I recently had a 3" turboback exhaust put on the car (no cats) as well as a change to mobil one synthetic on last oil change and I shimmed my wastegate actuator in the last few months as well. The motor and turbo just has 50,XXX miles on it. I'm not leaking any oil except for a small amount which leaks on top of my exhaust manifold heat shield. Could my change to synthetic be the prob? Could it be my turbo? how could I check to see if it is burning oil on the exhaust side?
