I noticed I have bluish smoke coming out of my exhaust during idle. But, it comes and goes only for such a short period. Im still on stock turbo with almost 70k mileage. Really hope its not my turbo :S

heeeeeeeeeeelp!!

Does it do it on boost too? If it is your turbo at least its easy to change/upgrade ;)

I dont think so, Im gonna have to try spool the turbo on idle and see if it does spew out smoke. The smoke comes out about a minute or two when i idle after boosting.

Thanks 4 the help mate :D

Its the seals on the turbo. Rebuild it or have it rebuilt....or get a new one. I had the same problem on a previous car I owned. Car exhaust smoked like crazy at idle as oil was passing through the seals and being burnt up in the exhaust. Had the turbo rebuilt with new seals, problem went away.
