[Mk2] [Turbo] 1992 revision 2 gts smoking when ticking over,any ideas?

Post by Tommy P »

My 1992 revision 2 gts has started to smoke when its ticking over,its fine when im driving it with no smoke either on or off boost,it only when its not on the move,its done 55,000 miles and as far as i know it hasnt had a turbo rebuild yet,do you think the turbo seals are leaking or could it be a valve seal perhaps?any advice would be greatly appriciated

Turbo seal. Same thing happened to mine at about 95,000 miles.
