Oil all over the back of my car
So I've been having a problem with the car running rich lately, and was told to switch out the 1st o2 sensor. I started doing that yesterday, and had a hell of a time getting to it, so I took the downpipe off the turbo and tried again. No luck, so I started to remove the charge pipe so I could take the turbo off, but decided to hold off until I get my other car back. So I put everything back together and head out that night. I thought I saw some smoke coming out the back, but it was dark and hard to tell, so I ended up back at home again. I went out earlier today and a buddy pointed out that there was something all over the back of my car. We looked closer and it looked like oil.
I'm thinking that the turbo needs to be replaced, and the oil is leaking past the seals in it. That would be one reason the oil is coming out the exhaust. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow, but figured I'd see what others think so far.
