my car smokes like crazy

[beihl304]

alright today i compression tested my car and it was good. my car smokes like crazy tho but it only smokes really bad when it has been running for a few minutes. i dont think it would be the valve seals cause it would smoke bad at start up right? what else could be wrong that wouldnt show on a compression test? any help would be greatly appreciated.

your tubo seals are bad. At least that is wit sounds like to me.

Your valve seals can still leak while the car is runnig, they wear out like any other seal, just make sure its the valve seals, i see you car is turboed and they like to smoke when they go bad also.

wouldnt that mean oil is going through my intercooler piping and threw intake? i checked the intercooler piping and no oil was by the intake but some was down by the turbo but wasnt getting to the intake?

and about the valve seals, what i was trying to say is that if they were bad wouldnt it somke as soon as i start the car?
thanks for the replies

Sounds like your turbo's oil seal is out. Your description of how it begins smoking more and more as it warms up is exactly the symptoms that occurred when my 14b's oil seal decided to quit. Any excessive shaft play on the turbo?

May not be the best policy, but I consider it normal for a turbo car to smoke some after it's been left to idle. If you don't experience any smoke on start up after sitting for at least eight hours, I would definitely be leaning toward the turbo seals.

I would say you have found your answer already
