Car has been pretty good to me, but last Friday it decided to start smoking tons of white smoke that I only noticed after filling up.
So white smoke, antifreeze right? Apparently not, started taking apart things gearing up to do the head gasket. Well upon taking off the turbo (HX35), I noticed a film on the steel gasket, tasted it, not antifreeze it's oil. Well dug deeper and all my exhaust v-bands (turbo to o2 and o2 to dp) were oiled, o2 housing was coated in oil, exhaust turbine was oiled as well. Last detail is - when I got the turbo off, I pulled the exhaust housing and the cup behind the exhaust turbine started oozing oil.
The simple question: is there any way that this is NOT the oil seal on the turbo?
The only thing I cannot explain is, if it is the oil seal, how did oil get up the throat of the inlet and get oil into the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the turbo?

Could be a bad Exhaust Valve Seal.
Pull the Exhaust Manifold and have a look.

While we are on the subject. I may need to do the same shortly. So do I just pull the hx35 apart, replace all the pieces provided in the kit and then go get it balanced?

I just contacted Trader Greg and am bringing in his kits for Holset. We have wanted a decent Holset kit for a while, so based on this recommendation I ordered a few. They are going to be $59.89 plus shipping (if needed) and tax, of course.
