Car smokes grey after idling for like 5 minutes. Doesnt smoke while driving...

[turblu]

So guys lately Ive noticed that if my car is parked and idling for atleast 5 minutes. Then it just starts to smoke and greyish white smoke as if its burning oil. So guys what do you guys think it is? I thought if I was to run rich it should be black.

valve seals

How bad is that? I mean do I need a rebuild like with in a month. Or can I ride it out for a few months untill Spring/Summer when I start a new job?

it might be your turbo seals. when my t25 blew out, it was literally a smoke machine when sitting idle.

Valve seals can be a pain to replace if you dont have the right tool like a GOOD valve spring compressor.

Meh, my CA does this too, the motor's as strong as ever but its my crappy ol T25.

Yea I was pretty sure it was my turbo going out and not valve seals. I have seen oil in my intake pipes lately. Is that a good indication that my turbo is goig out?

bump for morning ideas and suggestions on how to extend the life of the turbo...

yah, your turbo is dead, well, not dead, Ive got the same prob with my T25, Ive got another one laying around but it needs a rebuild and Im too strapped for cash to rebuild it, the smoke will start to get worse, like every time you stop at a stoplight, I just look at it like this, no one will ever like to tailgate me,

not to thread jack, but does anyone know the best place to get a T25 rebuild kit
