Weird smoking problem.....
 

Ok so my ls-t runs beautiful on 10lbs......weird thing is, (asume its warmed up etc) If I park it and run inside for 10-15mn and then come out and drive it, it smokes like hell for a couple mn. Its burning oil big time when that happens. Is that a specific symptom of something? Turbo/rings/valve seals?

Other than that the car doesn't seem to smoke at all, maybe just a tad bit. But either way I've got oil coming from somewhere, Just trying to make it easier to find...

can u see any oil comming from anywhere?

Re: Weird smoking problem.....
 

no clue but that happens to my boy n/a lude and when he goes into reverse. i know this doesnt help but it my not be turbo related

Re: Weird smoking problem.....
 

No, its not an external leak, either my rings, valve seals or turbo are leaking and burning oil. Im guessing its a small enough ammount that I don't see it when driving, but if I let it sit it will build up and burn off a ton when I start driving. I honestly thought I popped the HG when It happened yesterday..

my friend's DSM GST does this... riding around, racing, whatever.. no smoke.. let it idle for 5min.. smokes like cheech and chong on a slow day.

id say turbo

Re: Weird smoking problem.....
 

yeah it is, mine does it too. Check your drain lines, make them as unrestrictive as possible, otherwise it's the turbo seals :-X

just deal with it, or try a rebuild

not a blown hg, i dont think its tur turbo seals, the turbo was just rebuilt, ive only put 2k miles on it.....i just put on a restrictor today, maybe that will help
