hey whats up my fellow dsmers here is my issue.

I was driving my 1st gen when all of a sudden my car started smoking under the hood and out of the exhaust. i looked under the hood and saw oil dripping from my oil return line on my turbo( a constant drip) and my dipstick had poped out. oil was everywhere. I got the car home and had my friend look underneth the car and he said it looked like oil was coming from the clamp that hold the two housings together. So today i took the turbo off and saw oil in the exhaust side of the turbo and o2 housing. the only thing i did this month was replace the timing belts. the car was not smoking before this. If any one has any ideas please help

Thanks
jayg :cry:

I had something similar to this event happen to me. I leaked out most of my oil and my coolant and all of the sudden, i was driving somewhere and my car was like dying and overheating. Check all the turbo seals and the oil feed lines. It turns out i blew and oil feed line to my turbo, which was an easy fix, but after that the turbo was shot as well. :dsm:
