Turbo Death?

[garethcolley]

Ive just taken the Nova LET for a spin and given it some just before i got home. I then lifted my bonnet with the engine running to see a small amount of smoke coming from around the turbo, im not sure if it was because it was simply hot and there was a cold breeze or if its something more sinister? If a turbo is on its way out do you get it smoking from the exhaust?

check it is airtight,is there and gasses leaking out,possibly oil on te turbo,leaky oil feed/return maybe?

move than likely some oil dripped down from your engine onto it. You have to remember that when you **** hole it the turbo will be glowing red.
