107884, oil coming out from spark plug??????
Posted by tnolo585, Feb-28-08 12:25 PM
ok i finally put my car together today and when it came time to turn it on it turned on but it smoked white smoke, almost looked like fog, after that oil was cooing out of my turbo into y intake(problem solved) and the smoke stopped but a bunch of oil was coming from my forth spark plug????
what is this? i figured my rings where bad.
thanks in advance,
joel


p.s. i was getting water out of my exhaust so i figured a broken head gasket but i checked my oil and seemed fine, what could it be??

Most likely your rings. Theres 2 compresion rings and the lower one is oil control ring and it most likely failed if your getting oil out of the spark plug hole.

Was it coming out of the spark plug hole, where was it pooling on top of the spark plug itself? If it was pooling on top of the spark plug, I'd say check the O-ring around that spark plug that seals the valve cover against the head.

Oil coming out of your turbo on the compressor side isn't a good sign, was your oil drain kinked? I'd do a compression wet and dry test to find out if it is your rings. You could also double check and make sure your spark plug well gaskets in between the v/c and head are still good and not leaking that oil.

yea it was kinked, so i rerouted it and cleaned it.... good thing i diddnt get any oil in my intercooler. well ima try checking th seal then hopefully that is it, what about the water out the exhaust???
also the oil is over the saprk plug.

Do a compression test too... and a by-product from burning petrol and sending it through a catylitic converter is water as well as condensation will occur when the hot exhaust gasses touch something cool, like your exhaust piping and cooler air outside.
