Finding an exhaust leak

<< < (6/11) > >>

Check for oil leaks around the turbo. Odds are you are getting oil dripping down onto the exhaust manifold, resulting in smoke getting into your ventilation system. Why do I know this? Well because I am getting smoke clouds coming out of my vents right now in mine due to the same problem. Did you check the pcv hose system like I suggested when you first got the car?

Yes, and I replaced most of it with one of the FCP Groton Kits. I do have a leak  (no oil on driveway) on the turbocharger's oil line, but the car doesn't smell like burning oil.

After reading through this thread, this kid either has 48 hours a day of free time or he considers his free time absolutely freakin' worthless. 

Just to drive the tip of this point home further than these guys already have:  don't get belligerent with the people you are asking for help.

The return line on the bottom, or the big intake hose on the side?

If it is the bottom return line, then there are $4 worth of seals you can get to fix that.

As to locating the leak, start the car on a cold morning and take a look under the car for exhaust leaks. You should be able to see them then.
