I added to much oil one day and a minutelater a bunch of white smoke and the results.....


What failed? Where did the oil come from?

 

Could be that the recirculation for the aos is pushing a lot of oil into the intake stream because you overfilled it. Put the oil level back to normal and then drive it around, if thats what it is, then it'll go away. If it does not go away, it could be your turbo.

 

Looks like a bad turbo i think

 

How much did you overfill?
Drain some oil if you haven't already... The extra oil most likely went through the AOS like 9fitty said.
Don't worry about it for now. If it doesn't go away after a couple days then look into a failing turbo...

 

If it wasn't blowing oil, or burning a lot before you added oil, then you are fine.

 

you sure it was WHITE smoke? burning oil is blue. my intercooler pipes have a good amount of oil in them as well. your compressor has a bit more oil in it than i do, but doesnt seem like so much that i would be overly concerned about the turbo.

 

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES GUYS......


I Overfilled it by 2 quarts

What is a AOS??

 

It could of been Blue smoke, I did drain my oil it looks fine no coolant. Flushed my cooling system looks good no oil.

I did notice a loss of power and what felt like no boost.

I have evrything off and I am about to swap a low milage turbo. I hope nothing else got damaged!

 

2 qt ???? that is your problem

AOS= air/oil separator which is the black plastic housing with the yellow oil filler cap on top, which has a vacuum line connected to the intake that will allow too much oil thru when you over fill.

 

WHAT SEALS or PARTS DO I NEED WHEN SWAPING A TURBO? link? part numbers?

 

Does the AOS need to be reaplaced beacuse of this? Or some sort of seal>?

 

No damage done, but if you have the turbo off, then "while you are in there" replace the 2 o-rings where the AOS mounts to the block as they are prone to leak with age.

Cheap and easy to do with the turbo off.

 

You added too much oil and over-pressurized the crankcase, resulting in a backing up of pressure and many blown seals/gaskets/caps. Your engine basically regurgitated its' own life-preserving lubricant, drowning it to boot!, Whoa- thats gnarly, dude..."hydrolocked" on its own fluids. It only goes to show too much of a good thing is often fatal.

wow, news to me. Too much oil = blown seals and gaskets!
