White Smoke!

[alexbradford]

Right started my car today and went back in the house till the car got upto temperature,
went back outside and there was constant white smoke coming from the exhaust.

Checked the coolant for oil - nothing
Checked the oil cap for the infamous mayonaise! - nothing
Yestarday the car did NOT boost at all but there was boost pressure ( could see via the boost gauge ).

Can someone point me in the right direction as too whats wrong, second hand turbos arent expensive, seen a few on here go for about £100 odd. Anybody know how much it would cost roughly to get fitted.

Also done a search on this and its told me to check the things I have already checked, Just thought I would point that out before the search police intervene.

Cheers alex

sounds like the oil seals on the turbo have died and gone to heaven unfortunately

F**K, Is it an easy fix, Or new turbo job?

Forgot to add, would this be the reason why I have an oil leak or is all the oil leaking going straight into the exhaust!

you could get your turbo rebuilt or buy a second hand/refurbished turbo, I'm not sure on costs but it shouldn't be mega money going down this route, 3/400 notes as a wild guesstimate.
As for the oil, I'm not sure if it leaks 'out' of the turbo but it does leak into the exhaust and burn which is the white smoke.
