maybe somone has had this problem before...

My car is blowing ALOT!! of white smoke and has a milky substance coming out of exhaust, my turbos sound normal however there is a big loss in power!

and basicly all the oil was gone! there is no leak underneath the car, and people have told me a blown head gasket? what else could it be?

i have looked in the dipstick there is no milky ness in the actual engine, or the coolant. could it be around the turbos?

 

sounds like a head gasket... but you say there is no coolant in the oil and no oil in the coolant which makes me think its something else but idk what else it could be.....

 

it could also be valve seals but the only way to test it would be a leak down test

 

is there anything around the turbos that could cause the milky oil out of the exhaust pipe?

oh and i checked and Im not hearing my turbos anymore when I rev up the engine? is that normal? im hoping my turbos arent clogged with that milky oil? is it possible?



and what is an estimated repair time for head gasket?

 

This just happened to me. One of my turbos went.

 

There are seals in the turbos that keep the oil in the oil chamber and coolant in the coolant chamber, and both out of the intake and or exahust portion of the turbo charger. If they leak into either you will get smoke. Oil will create the classic burning oil look of blue/white smoke. If you have a james bond white smoke screen then it's coolant. The most common thing people think of for that is the head gasket, but more likely in your case are one of the turbochargers. Take a look around them to see if you can see one that is sweating. If one looks wet around any part of the turbo then that's your culprit. Take it off and see if it's all wet inside the intake portion or the exhaust portion. Either way its a new or rebuilt turbo for you. If you are doing one turbo might as well do both if you are planning the OEM rebuilt method or aftermarket bigger turbos. If your hard up for cash doing one now and the other later when it blows is an option. It's no more or less work to do 1 now and 1 later on.

 

Ummm considering its about 25 hours labor to replace the turbos you better replace them both because its ALOT more work to do one now then another later on.

 

its twice the work to replace one turbo now and the other later.... it means pullin the engine twice!!

 

Well this sucks because either way it's probley going to be expensive so....
