blown seals on turbo is my first guess

How much boost are you running?? I your running alot of boost it could be blow by. Get a catch can.. That sloved my problems..

**aquickfive0** · 04-18-2006, 12:52 PM

where does it go? how do i hook up? got me a link?

Did you just install the kit? If yes, check the wires on the oil return pump. If the polarity is reversed, oil will come out of the tail pipe. I have seen oil in my intake pipes ever since I got the kit, nothing major...but it's always been there.

Is the oil going to the throttle body causing any problems?

my checkvalve o top of the turbo was stuck open, when i taped into the piece above the oil filter a small shaving came off adn that small fragment jamed the checkvalve open duming oil in turbo when car is off

Buddies lt1 sts was smoking bad out the tailpipes and it was overfilled in the crankcase.

Interesting about the pump polarity and stuff.
Thats one reason I like my turbo setup.no extra oil pump..feeds off filter housing and returns gravity style..nice and simple.
And turbos seals dont' blow like that .But you can get oil out thru them if you have some problems with crankcase venting. And they can let oil out past the seals if they are worn out and really shot which guess could happen if you had some major oil starvation issues.

I would bet money its the check valve in your oil pump.....or you could have a collapsed return line under suspension load.

I think I'd be calling STS and see what they say about this...I've heard other people say the exact same thing about this........

**aquickfive0** · 05-02-2006, 02:16 PM

mine was check valve on turbo was stuck open, i replaced it , and cleaned oil outa lines and turbo, burned excess oil out but running car and now works great

when i tapped into the oil pump on engine a email bit of metal came off adn jammed the check valve
