Hi, did you get this oil leak fixed, what was involved. Think I have the same problem?

This is a very old post i know.

Thanks.

I had the same fault a while ago, my leak was from the turbo oil seals.
It would run fine, but under boost it would chuck out blue smoke cos the oil was getting into the inlet track and obviously being burnt by the engine. If that is what is happening then its another set of turbos, or you can have them rebuild from a turbo company but that can cost alot. Best bet is a good second hand set and have them fitted. If money isnt much of an option then go single, but if it is a prob then second hand set and you might as well try and get a set of 99 spec or knightsport ones, they are rare but are better than standard, oh and a high flow downpipe while your there wouldnt hurt. And change the plugs and oil when you\'ve got it done cos they\'ll be covered in .... if it is leaking into the inlet track.
