Default engine smoke-turbo i think

another prob is i'm getting a little smoke from the motor a grey blue colour

symptems

when generally drving around town & hard accelleration its fine with no smoke

it just smokes a bit when i come to a set of traffic lights or on tickover when warm

my suspisiton is the oil seals in the turbo are going/gone

i've compression checked the motor & alls good, rolling roaded it & all fine

just tickover smoke?

if its happening when you lift off it could be turbo or valve stem seals. They are the cheapest to replace whilst the head is on, if its an ET that is. Is there any play in the turbo ?

it dont smoke when i lift of the throttle you can gun the car up or down the gears with no smoke!

it smokes just on tickover or on starup when its been run, my MOT man ha let me go on it for 2 years on the smoke test
my emisions are fine though! lol

i presume cause it only smokes on tickover or startup when the car is warm its just oil from the turbo getting burnt in the exhaust

lewt me know ya thoughts
