Think I May Have A Problem ... Some Smoke!

[Chris.Mcd]

Hey you may have read some of my threads over the last few days asking for help and advice.

I promise this will be the last one.

I have fitted my new turbo, TMIC , fuel pump, and up pipe over the weekend.

I started the car up last night to idle for a while to let the oil move around the engine again but ...

This is when I discovered some smoke coming from the turbo area. Not alot but enough - smells bad also .

The only thing I can think of is, burning oil that has came out when taking the old turbo off

Anyone think of anything else it could be ?

Thanks

Chris

Was it a brand new turbo you fitted?

No second hand.

Why you asking?

COULD be a bad turbo, but you usually get some oil and coolant just burning off, from swopping it all over.

Burning coolant smeels the worst. Very eye singeing stuff.

Please dont say a bad turbo please ha.

Yeah alot of coolant went all over the place so HOPEFULLY it will justbe that.

Another quick question ? Can I just use any type of coolant ? or does it need to be a certain type?

Do i fill both the coolant tank up the the wee tank just above the coolant towards the front of the car?

Could possibly be turbo oil seals but could also be leakage from changing like drb5 syas.

Does smoke come out the exhaust when being revved

they are the seals that keep the oil in the correct part of the turbo and not into the exhaust causing blue or black smoke out the back.
