    Oil and this

    Ok so could this be the cause of all the smoke issues. I found it this morning while poking around. Any ideas?

    That a quite often then, but from that picture there doesn't look too much.

    If it smokes on boost then its usually a turbo issue, like the oil feed pipe.

    Off boost, on boost, from the back, from underneath the car, it smokes.

    Feel like Ive got Bob Marley in the boot.

    I still think its the oil return pipe seal, it seems to spray a fine mist of oil which gets everywhere. Are you getting drips on the driveway. Theres also a stud with a brass washer thats an oil seal also.

    No, no drips after its stood which makes me think oil return pipe. Its been like it since I got it but with other things needed doing to it its only now I am in a position to do anything. As I said at the meet, am going to have to take her in as not got a driveway or garage to take a look.

    Fingers bloody crossed hey
