Anyways, i finally put my turbo back on after it ate the gasket and i love this car!

Of course, it cant be a 240 without problems. Some of which are my fault.

The hose that goes from the valve cover T fitting touched my exhaust manifold and there was a little bbq going on on top of my manifold.

Anyways thankfully i was by a car store so easy fix.

Now im driving around and stuff, and my oil light flashes! I pull over check oil lvl it looks like some sort of water and looow oil!

My friend bought me some oil, i put that stuff in the engine (it was knocking at low rpm) and reved it up problem was solved.

So now where could have alllllll that engine oil have gone? I dont have any leaks we checked when we had the car in one spot, even when we redline reved her. Nothing came out after we put more oil in..

Anyone have any clues? P.s car shoots flames at like 7k

Well if it's watery maybe its in your coolant? and the watery substance is actually coolant. Check your radiator maybe? Flush it?

bad pcv system means, some body correct me if im wrong, one of three thingsbad rings, bad pcv valve, or bad valve seals.

I would do a compression test and a leakdown test to rule out the rings and valves.
