Hi, So i decided to seafoam my 3sgte swap yesterday, now before i say anything my car was running flawless, no leaks, nothing bad with the turbo, just plain nothing. So after i sucked in about 1/2 can on seafom, i let it sit. About 10mins later, i turn it on, starts right up, it starts smoking like it should, goes for about 10mins, no while it was smoking, i noticed a leak of oil started dripping under my turbo, slowly one drip every min, i was like wtf? my car had never leak oil before nothing, so i was like wtf, so i went for a test drive, drove just fine, if anything smoother, but my buddy noticed blueish white smoke still coming out about 20mins later, so i drive back home, pop the hood, engine still running, now the oil stopped leaking, i was like okay, so i drove it again, blue smoke came out like i blew my turbo or something, so i checked out my turbo pulled it off and everything, everything is fine, put it back together, went for a ride, nothing it was fine, I really wondered if seafom played jokes with me the whole time, anyone have anything to say, sry this was really long

seafoam is an agressive carbon remover....it will remove the gunk that once plugged a hole in some cases...smoke was probably from the leak hitting the exhaust. but i'd find the leak (if its just a gasket or something easy replace) and fix it!

If it was blue it wasn't burning in the exaust.
Oil burned in the exhaust is white. Oil burned in the combustion chamber is blue. If it's gone I wouldn't worry about it, but pay attention to your engine. -------------------- |
