SMW Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I have had this happen a couple of times recently and once quite a while back. After a fairly prolonged high speed run I get white smoke coming from the back of the car. (unsure as to whether or not it's coming out of the exhaust tailpipe or just from underneath the car) It only occurs once I have eased off the throttle and thankfully isn't accompanied by any disturbing noises! Definitely doesn't occur every time I give the car some stick but pretty embarrassing when it does. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Plenty of posts on this one, I had one running several weeks ago. Most replies hint towards turbo seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 It usually happens when the box changes and boost pressure drops but oil pressure is high so some oil squeezes past the turbo oil seals. AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
