I had a Blown HG for about 2 months. Coolant NEVER went down. I leak just enough to make it smoke the odd time and overheat every once in a blue moon.

Replaced the HG, No more problems.

It sure sounds like turbo seals to me, I can't think of why a BHG would cause oil to leak all into your chargepiping, etc.

The reason we can't tell you what the problem is is because you don't know what color your smoke is. White is coolant!! If it's not white then it's not coolant, simple.

If it is blown around an oil passage, cylinder pressure leaks into the crankcase, if he doesn't have a proper PCV system, and not assuming, but a lot of Newbs over look this, oil is then forced into the intake tract by the PCV System.

Yes, I've seen it happen!

Very interesting! Thanks for the insight, learn something new everyday.
