afternoon
okay, so heres the story, I'm driving home this arvo, about 27dec out side, i come around a corner and plant it a bit, prolly boosted to 3-4psi, then i smell smoke, look down in the foot well, then to the bonnet and smoke was pissing out.
grabbed my extinguisher ready (me getting paranoid lol) open the bonnet and have a look, the turbos heat shield is just covered in oil, all over the brake booster ect and up under the bonnet. let it cooled down took off the heat shield and there was no oil on the turbo, took off the front pipe to it and there is oil in side, more then there usually is.
the dip stick stick was poking up a little as if the oil has come outa there or something, is that possible?
i started the car after checking everything, put a ltr of oil in to be safe first, then started it and no oil leaks anywhere.
does anyone know whats going on? is it just a shagged turbo or could it be something else?
thanks
geoff
edit:
okay iv just pulled the intercooler pipes off, to get to the bottom of the turbo, and oil pretty much just ran out of them.
whats that a sigh of?

did you pressurise the crankcase somehow and blow the dipstick out - and a purge of oil out along with it?

sounds like failed/blocked PCV valve - so oil (and crankcase gasses) tries to escape out of every seal (dipstick, front/rear crank seals, turbos, valves, cam covers, etc).
also, turbo oil-seal(s) may have failed (hence extra oil inside induction system).

well, the smoke coming out makes it look like it's on fire.
I cringed when he told me the story and mentioned he "popped the bonnet to have a look" (rule no.1: when under bonnet may be on fire, do not open unless you have a fire extinguisher).. but it was just smoking everywhere, no fire

the chuckster, you are right, the pipes on top of the cam covers were kinked ect, there for leading for it to escape another way, i.e through the dip stick.
allan, as for the turbo movement.
well, took it all off tonight, and well, its farrrrked impeller moves up and down about 1cm! and back & fowards 3-4mm
so the turbo is fucked.
motor oil was about half way up the dip stick when at running temp, is that to low?
so yeh, I'm guessing cos there is so much movement in the turbo that oil has been sucked/pushed through all the cooler pipes ect, and covered the back of my car as well with oil.
there was no smoke coming out of the exhaust.
is it worth re building the ct26 and going all out getting it hi-flowed ect??
or would i be better of finding another ct26 or something else?
cos really, atm im up shit creek with out a paddle

Could be leeking boost into the sump aswell...
As for hi-flow or not i suggest you read up on supra forums on all the pro and cons of it and work out what you want from the car....
