[s-cars] So my car is burning oil?

[Jack Gagnon]

First question:

How much oil are you burning?  If you don't have to add oil between oil
changes, don't worry.

Jack

92 S4 222K burning no oil between 5k changes

Subject: [s-cars] So my car is burning oil?



Recently, Ingo Rautenberg  (V8 + URQ) was on a quick Central Texas  visit
from Detroit and he mentioned that he thought that my car smoked  (blue) a
little
too much on startup..The car also will blow some smoke  during heavy
acceleration.. so the million dollar question is:
Valves or Turbo?

My question to you all is where do i start...

1) Valve seals...about WHAT DOES THAT COST? and how likely is it that I am
having valve issues? Are there tests to see if there is leakage??

2) Turbo, I replaced original Turbo with a rebuilt one about 3 years ago I
know how to replace this bugger, but this is very different from the last
Turbo's failure ??? does this seem like typical turbo failure....here is no
smoke
at extended idle like my last Turbo failure???


What do you think any direction or BTDT's appreciated
