i know i said burning oil and it probabaly wasnt the best choice of words

theres no smoke just oil and coolant levels keep going down and there isnt any leaks at all anywhere part from a very small drip from the sump plug but its minimal



You would normally need to top up the coolant as it goes through the system anyway, but as for oil 4.5 litres from memory to fill, so how much did you use?

Is there oil and coolant under your car when its parked up?

If there isnt id say the new turbos bad. Coolant may appear to be dropping as it hasnt been bled properly and there is air in the system maybe?
