Hey guys,
So trying to figure our exactly what's going on with my car. When I drive my car and get into boost, I let off the gas a puff of smoke comes out of the exhaust for about 2 to 5 seconds then goes away. If I drive it and don't boost it, it does not smoke at all. I did a compression test and the numbers were 150 139 105 130 so kinda all over the place.
I pulled my turbo and exhaust manifold and I found oil leaking from the #1 exhaust port, it looks to me like it's coming from the valve up top. So I could be valve stem seals. However that would not make my compression numbers what they are. I also did a leak down test on cylinder 1 and air is coming out of the valve cover. I have also checked timing and it's dead on. There is zero oil in my exhaust housing as well, so I don't think the smoke is coming from that. Any other ideas on what you think it might be? I'm stumped at this point.
