Glowing Red Turbo - July 26, 2001 04:48 am UTC
My car has been leaking oil from the rocker
cover. So when I got home tonight I smelled oil burning. It was dark so when I opened the
hood I could see the turbo housing glowing red.
Now I was running for 20 min on the Hwy set to low boost at 10 psi. I think I only hit boost twice the hole way home, so I wasn't running hard. There doesn't seem to be any leak cause it will hold 17psi.
My question is, is this normal, if not what could be wrong. And has it happened to anyone else?
