Marco Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 When I came home today after a 30 minute ride, I smelled something from the engine bay. I had a quick look and saw smoke coming from where the 02 sensor is and the exhaust. See attached picture. What could be causing this? Is this something to be worried about?

Kranz Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Oil shouldn't be there! If the exhaust gets hot & has oil on it you'll have a nice engine fire. Block doesn't look too clean either. Give it all a clean off & then run it up on the driveway & check everywhere for oil dripping. I'm hoping its not your turbos. The oil looks like its come from an oil system rather then blown out of a split boost or breather hose (that would create oil mist, not drops).

Steve Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I would be very worried. You need to find out where it is coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's fixed. It was the oil return feed thingie that was leaking. Thank god it wasn't the turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
