Just picked up my first dsm- A 95 eclipse GSX. Noticed i had a pretty significant oil leak coming from one of the oil lines into the turbo. I tightened the clamp and added half a quart of oil to replace what leaked out-now no leak, but the car smokes like a fogmachine. it didnt do this on my testdrive and was wondering if this could be a product of me having too much oil in the engine, or if the turbo is shot? checked the dipstick but i dont believe its a factory stick, the tops broken off and if it is factory, i have about twice as much oil as it should have in the engine- and it had that much at the time of my testdrive, and didnt smoke. is too much oil my problem or is there some other more sinister reason as to why my car does this?
