Try not to post a problem in multiple sections.

What do the plugs look like after it idles for a few minutes? Plugs can tell you lots.

People tell me turbo can this be?

Could be but you are going to have to give use some more details and do some investimigationing. :wink:

*Check the plugs after it idles for a few minutes.
* While it is idleing see how much blowby you have.
*Do a compression test.
*Can you see bubbles in the coolant with it idling. (pull the radiator cap off while it is cool then start it)
Any water in the oil.

IMO U should do these things before you make another post. That is unless you want a bunch of WAGS (wild ass guesses) Now if you want a SWAG (scientific wild-ass guess) go check those things and report back.

Here are a coupla easy oil tests to see where your probs may be:

1. Pull your dipstick and put a lighter to it. If the oil flames up, gas is persent in the engine oil

2. Drip some oil from the dipstick on the hot turbo/manifold. If the oil bubbles or boils, there is coolant in the oil.
