Post by: jamie16v on 11 October 2011, 19:58: yeah i think its common due to the pcv system

Post by: james2 on 11 October 2011, 21:19: mines the same ,it sucks as i never floor it to clear it out.One day i did, it went all strange like it was going to die, i went in the slow lane and looked in rear mirror a massive cloud of blue smoke.Boot it more often to clear it out of bottom of intercooler.Its fine now i know,i thought turbo oil seal died. :laugh:

Post by: james2 on 11 October 2011, 21:23: i think a oil catch can might stop it ,or help .Might leak from turbo oil seal and vapour from rocker cover? Anyone know if a catch can helps? :undecided:

It might be as too much oil can lead to problems.
