Okay ill try to keep this stright and to the point. Basically I was driving a few weeks back and I get on it and all the sudden I hear "POP!" and my car is blowin out smoke like a mo fo! I thought it was turbo seals becasue I have blown one before and it makes the same pop and you get the smoke/oil out the exhaust.
Well I was about to replace it when I took my exh manifold off and noticed somethin strage 3 cyl back from the front I have oil in the port and in the exh manifold, all the others are clean. The hot side of my turbo is DRY of oil, I know from experience if the turbo seal blows usually its full of oil. Heres the other thing the car exhaust sounds funny and runs like the engine is gettin choked up aside from just the smoke. The starter even makes a funny sound when cranking now like the batt is dead. Aside from choking up a little you can tell its still running ok and has decent engine power so I dobut its anything major like a cracked head or whatever
Valve seal?
I was gettin a little knock before it happened on my guage (HOT day poor gas) could this contribute to the valve seal blowing?
