oil smell

Post by craigs4 » Sat Apr 14, 2007 12:54 pm

hi all , ive noticed that after ive been out for a drive there is a strong oil smell and a little smoke coming from out the wheel arches and its worse if ive been pushing it , ive got a feeling its coming from the turbo areas , could it be the oil seals to the turbos and if so can you get to them to change them ? im not loosing any oil to speek of so it seems that a bit is seeping onto the exhaust and burning has anyone else had this ?

Check your cam cover gaskets and any signs of oil around the rear of the cam cover normally on the O/S.
