TRD3000GT Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Just had an oil change last week and have driven down to cornwall, was on my way back and the following happend.? I ended up sitting in traffic for near on 3 hours today and noticed after about 2 and a half hours that When I set off after a long stop that smoke would come out of the exhaust... This progessively got worse and worse so I pulled over as I was not getting anywhere and smoke was comming out on idle, Not much but it smelt so Im pretty sure I was burning oil... I waited an hour for the traffic to clear and set of again.. When not moving car would smoke and onuder way everything seemed fine..? Ive had the single kit on the car for 3+ months now and its all been running well.. So I want to get this resolved ASAP. Could it be NOTHING ? Stem Seals Turbo Seals? do these still count if you have gone single? I also checked coolant and there is not signe of oil in it.. ? Im going to attempt to drive back to london as she seems fine on the move.. May be the hours sitting around just got things a little hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 If it smells of oil it could be stems or seals. What oil are you running and is this different to what you had before the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 if its blue smoke on warm idle then it has to be turbo oil seals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 All sorted... I am happy to say after draining a litre of oil from my car it is now fine... I just had a full service and the oil was seriously overfilled! It was the first time the car had become HOT after the service and these were the effects.. I was pretty sure it was not seals as you see that sort of thing happen gradually not just in the space of a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
