Hi all,
I'm getting sick of blue smoke on startup and the oil consumption. The car drives fine but the oil smell and smoke is starting to become embarrasing.
I asked the question here a while ago and had not much repsonse. I came accross a similar issue on a ctdi civic and asked on the civinfo forum. I got the following response:
"Could also be something as simple as the oil seprator pipe that plugs in right at the turbo for vacuum.
Thats where the oil mist comes from you'll find when you pop a boost pipe and wipe with your finger"
No I don't even know where the turbo is or the oil seperator pipe. Some have mentioned on other car forums that PCV valve could be faulty. Again I don't know where this is and even if my car has one.
I did have a good look around under the bonnet and took the intake manifold air pipe off and found some oil in it which doesn't seem normal.
So where is this oil seperator pipe? and why could there be oil in my intake manifold?
I started to think initially that it was my valve seals and I was going to go to HH and get them done, but now with the oil in the manifold, it seems it may be something else.
To remind you all, it is just a P*** of blue smoke on startup. Sometimes its a huge smoke. Especially when it is warmer outside.
Any help appreciated.
