I've had this issue with a misty smoke when the revs and boost get up towards top end
- you can see it in this video in 2nd gear and a bit less obviously in 3rd gear. It doesn't look particularly blue to me but the car does use oil.It has a hybrid CT26 turbo which isn't that old but there is a bit of side to side play in the shaft and signs of oil in the turbo housing and hotpipe.
Good compression last time I checked so wouldn't have thought it's the rings.
Never smokes on idle or on start up or anything. Although one time when I came to a stop a bit of smoke engulfed the car from behind. Again I couldn't say if it was blue or not and my nose isn't trained well enough to know what the smell was. Sometimes it seems to smell a little of unburnt fuel to me but that might just be when it's cold.My plan is to take the turbo off this summer, send it to be rebuilt and re fit it
- no doubt i will do all that and still have the problem.Does anyone have any other suggestions? or advice? or things I could do to rule out possibilities? I was going to disconnect the crankcase breather from the intake
( put it in a plastic bag or cloth or something) and do a little test run to see if the oil is coming from there...Any help much appreciated before I remove the turbo!
