smoking

[fat_dan]

My GST smokes out of the tail pipe...only when its on idle...after about 2 min... then it will eventualy stop as i drive... ive looked up possibilities...and ive read that my turbo can be burning too much oil...my head is good...valve cover replaced...what can it be

Just to clarify, it smokes after being parked for a while, and then clears up? That sounds more like valve seals to me, turbos will smoke more under heavy load. I would do a compression and leak down test to verify; also check the turbo for shaft play.

When did you last change the oil? Did it smell at all like gasoline?

What color smoke ?

It's valve seals. Use a heavier oil and it will band-aid the problem for a while.

Also, please use a more descriptive thread title when starting a new thread- try to describe the problem a bit within the title to make the situation more searchable. Work on the punctuation and grammar a bit while you're at it.
