Hello there, got a problem
When starting up from cold, a puff of white smoke comes out the exhaust.
I have checked the usual, oil cap, and header tank, nothing, no signs of water.
It does smell like burnt oil though, but its not blue. I took the intercooler off, and noticed oil in there, so gave it a good clean.
But still getting it, but doesn't smell after the small puff of white smoke.
Any ideas? I did hear about turbo seals. But most people say water. but it def smells like oil.
Please help.

 

white smoke is perfectly normal in this weather. mine smokes like crazy untill ive done about 5 mins driving.

 

Do you know what it is at all? As it does smell like oil, but then fine. Weird.
I have changed the oil from Motul 15w50 to Mobil1 15w50.
BIt worried about it as dont want it to be a headgasket, as wanting a remap soon, got a new turbo, just needs fitting then remap.

 

when the engine is hot do you get boubles coming up the water filler pipe?
My mate was getting lots of boubles and it was the head gasket!!!!
Fingers crossed yours is ok.

 

Will check, cheers.
Doesn't lose water or over heat, just seems strange.
