about 2 months ago when i was vented w/ the blitz my friend told me i had blueish/greyish smoke coming out of my muffler, and now i have the greddy type S and my brother was behind me today and said he saw blueish/greyish smoke coming out of my muffler, what could this be? i just order a o2 sensor...... and sometimes i smell something funny

blueish tint to exhaust somke means you are burning excessive amount of oil...

and what would casue that???? also if its burning it wouldnt it read low on dipstick, which it isn't

 

[halik008]

how many miles are on the engine?? There are number of places where your oil can leak....

It does not necessairly will be a big enought leak to register a whole lot on the dipstick but big enought to cause blue tint smoke.

Your burning oil in places that have oil and get hot. Could be turbo. Could be valve stem seals are broken. And it only takes a couple of drops of burning oil to create massive amounts of smoke. Therefore, you won't notice any level changes on the dip stick.

hey i have 78k the car runs fine, what do u think it can be, when i chnaged my intake i did find some oil in their( couple drops, maybe like a quarter sizes), or is that normal, i hope it is i want a new turbo

Yeah the oil residue is normal there is a hose coming from the valve cover that spits minute amount of oil that dumps in to stock intake.....

Right now i say just drive it and see if it get worse and you might be able to narrow down the source of the smoking. There is just too maybe places where oil leaks are possible...
