Oil in exhasust
#23
Im hoping thaqts what it is... put the vent on it last night drove it afround and got it up to temperature then parked it for the night... started it up this morning and was spraying oil.... its not milky when it comes out so its just the condensation in the pipe making it look milky when it mixes... anyway to troubleshoot a bad turbo?

Is it only at start up? If so, is there a check valve at the turbo in the feed line? Remote mounts need this little check valve to hold the oil back when you shut the motor off. The valves have like a 1 psi cracking pressure, so when you turn the truck off, they hold the oil in the feed line so it doesn't run into the turbo and fill the housing with oil that blows out when you first start it up.

I think that's probable the problem then. All the sts kits run them. Not only do you get the oil from the feed line, but all the oil in the top end of the motor will run back though that line too.

No, you need a check valve on the pressure side of the oil feed going into the turbo from the motor. It's sole purpose is to keep oil from draining out of the motor into the turbo and over filling it when you shut the truck off.
Seals in a turbo aren't a positive seal, its looks like a cast piston ring and if the bearing section of turbo fills with oil, it will just run past the seal into the turbine housing.
