oil from exhaust mani

[jayrogers]

Ok I was snooping around looking to see if I had a turbo leak and think I found a much bigger problem. Take a look. cracked block fryed rings or what

Extremely un-descriptive.
Not talking about grammar, But really you told us absolutely nothing..
What is your problem? What did you find? Be specific...

Edit:
Ah alright, didn't have the pic up at first..
Is it leaking from your valve cover gasket? I couldnt really see a lot of oil in that picture or any buildups.. only a few darkened areas..

sorry my computer was crashing. This is how things went. I was looking around because there was some oil on top of my turbo and i took off my heat sheild and noticed the oil between the exhaust ports and there is a little on the very left side. i steamed it off with my handy euro pro steamer and took it for a ride around the block and had only one hard pull through first and second. then i poped the hood and had a look with the black light because my oil has some left over dye in it and thats how much there was and it was bubbling a very small amount.

Well if you have dyed oil you should be able to detect where its comming from. I'd bet it was your oil feed line(on the left side of the head and on top of turbo), or valve cover gasket before I'd go so far to say cracked block or piston rings..

I steamed all the oil off the top of the turbo and all around the manifold so it was dry and clean. There is no tracks to the oil puddle on the manifold and it was bubbling there and it was not there befor because i cleaned it just two min before. i just put on a new valve cover gasket a few months ago.

right between the two ports there is a puddle and if it looks at all green or yellow its the dye.

 

[T is for TURBO]

One of the exhaust manifold studs goes into an oil passage. Could one be leaking? I belive its the middle bottom stud.
