Hi guys,

A little while back I asked questions regarding my smoking car...It still
sends out blue smoke when idling and less so when driving.
I am hoping that it is a turbo issue and not valves or worse and in checking
the various hoses for oil that could be collecting and burning off I have only
found a little bit of oil in the BPV. Thus the following questions.
The other hoses to and from the turbo are relative dry (slightly more greasy
than they were before I replaced the original Turbo-intercooler hose in the
winter) so something is happening.

How much oil would be coming by a bad turbo seal to make it smoke at idle?

The oil collecting at the BPV (q=tea-spoon)..where did it come from?

Does anyone have illustrations on how to take off the turbo (I have looked
without luck)?

I'd hate to buy a new turbo it is something else and I was quite surprised
with how little oil was in the hoses and therefore I'm curious what others with
turbo failure have experienced.

Thank you,

Shawn Olsen
