Okie, Sorry if ya'll are tired of my rambling post for the no start. BUT got it fixed Now that's fixed I have an oil problem. Got it started ran up and down street down at end of street had a nasty cloud of smoke coming for engine bay. Not from exhaust but from oil being pumped onto the exhaust side of turbo. It's alot of oil. I got it home poped hood and whole exhaust side of turbo is covered from the turbo down had it dripping down exhaust pipe about to mid car, and a nice sized puddle under car. The oil is OLD, i checked the oil level and it's about a quart over..... and noticed that the coolant was low, gonna top off the coolant but before doing an oil change, anyone have any idea's as to where it would leak from also if the oil level is to high where does it go? Could it overflow itself onto the exhaust side of turbo or any where else? I know in some cars it goes into the Cataltic(spelling?) converter and burns there and through exhaust. But I believe this has no Cat converter so where oh where does the oil go? Waiting for it to cool down before going out and checking hoses got pretty hot fast. Thanks any input would be greatly appreciated
Just used some Copper RTV let it sit over night and drove car around town for about an hour to burn off the oil on exhaust
