So the red only has around 5000 miles on it, and recently started smoking. When i was able to pull over, oil was POURING out the exhaust and dump. I added oil, got it home, and noticed when it gets in boost, it sprays oil out the BOV. I pulled it off, and sent it out to get a rebuild, but I'd hate to have something cause it to blow, and have it happen again. It had very minimal shaft play, which fp had told me before was normal for the turbo when cold.
My motor was recently freshened up, has around 5000 miles on it as well. The head only has around 500 miles on it.
I called fp and they seem to think it was just too high of crankcase pressure, but I've never had any issues with the dipstick popping up, which is usually the first sign. They suggested recirculating from the catch can to the intake, like how it was stock. Has anyone done that?
My thought was too high of oil pressure, but why would that just come on out of no where? It is feeding from the housing not the head btw.
So I'm thinking the turbo seals are blown, so does this just randomly happen, and that's why it's pushing oil so badly? Or did something happen to cause it to go bad?
I'm kinda a bit stumped. Any input would be appreciated!
